LOL...It's too late in the year now but next Spring we'll invite you up to our place for the Annual Spring Panic. That's when everybody...loggers, farmers, mountain road contractors, decide it's time to go to work. And I think they all decide at the same time because suddenly everybody wants everything done now.
I think they all get together one night over beers and say to each other..."First thing tomorrow morning we'll call Terry and start ordering trucks...lots of trucks."
Mud? All you want. All kinds of mud. Clay mud, decomposed granite mud, loam mud, soapstone mud, mud mixed with snow, mud mixed with ice, and mud full of gravel. Mud that builds up between your duals, mud that builds up under your front fenders, mud that builds up on the soles of your boots, and mud that cakes into the quick-hooks on your tire chains to where you have to beat on them with a winch bar to get them to release.
There's mud that's deep enough to drag your rear ends through, there's mud that you sink into up to your knees and theres mud that is only a snot layer on top of the frozen ground.
You can get towed by a Cat or a skidder.. You can get pushed. Sometimes you can get both at the same time.
We keep special heavy cross-bar tire chains for the trucks that stay in the mud all day. They're all singles because a three-railer would be too heavy for one guy to lift. If you're lucky you'll only have to put them on two or three times a day.
C'mon on up. We'll help you with your mud addiction withdrawal symptoms.
Newbie.... blah blah blah....yadda yadda yadda
