    My grandpa was a loader operator at a concrete plant for 49 and a half years. His first loader was a Hough, (think that’s spelled right), and he said it was appropriately named. He went home in a huff every evening! He had a progression of machines, mostly CAT. Last several he had were 980s. He loved those machines.he wanted SOOO bad to hit 50 years there before retirement, but the outfit sold out, and new owners wanted cheaper help. Gave about half a dozen guys the ax before him, so he kinda expected it. Gave him the choice, early retirement, or get fired. Put it that way, not too hard of a choice!

    One cold day a long time ago I was riding a 10-wheel dump truck hauling into the company mulch yard, along with several others. After a while we noticed our dump bodies weren’t completely emptying. I spied a Case 580 backhoe, backed my truck up to it, and commenced to digging out the frozen stuff. One of the utility crew happened along, and by this point the boss lady was apprised of the situation. I relinquished my seat in the seat in the backhoe to him assuming he could do it faster. He couldn’t due to being used to excavators. I took over and dug out everybody else.

    Good isn’t cheap, and cheap isn’t good. Some people have to learn that the hard way.

    Caught up. I have failed to acquire a can of blackeyed peas for tomorrow. Local stop and rob has 2859 different kinds of peas and beans on the shelf. No black eye peas. Unprecedented

    The different controls never bothered me. Mostly because I was never any good at it. :D

    Did you look in the frozen foods section?
    Maybe where the dry items, like beans and rice.
    Easy to cook from dry.
