Where is everyone #5

Thats only about 45 minutes from my farm!

 

Wife & I did our civic duty this morning.

 

Dang, it's pretty close to November to be looking to put the pieces together. Is the contractor hauling it themselves? Oh wait, you're going to work running the contractor's 345............I get it! From the pit you are part of?

 

Down at Dillards trucks…

 

Yeah, a head scratcher. Slide repair they've been working on after a thunderstorm came through last spring and took out the road (between Kamiah and Nez Perce- 7 mile).
It's the quarry I help out at that is supplying the rock. Talking with the pit owner this morning we agree the trucking is a looser between the product being hauled and the weather- let others tear their equipment up.

 

I understand. Side dumping big rock is tough on things at best, and I don't even think about end dumps anymore.

 

Do you guys have any trouble keeping up with making the rock?

 

I sometimes think that maybe in the history books of time there's a possibility of our ancestors actually knowing or dealing with each other. Maybe not, but I like this group of regulars and have even met some of you guys in person. Stands to reason that it's possible.

Of course I'll see a rusty nail in a pasture and wonder about it's origins and the life of the person who might have carried it there, so take these thoughts for what they're worth.

 

Ireland and Scotland here with a marriage to an English thrown in the mix after a generation or two of the bitterness wore off.

New pup came home from Vermont with us yesterday, and ironically, she was born in Wales. Other than me not knowing a lick of Welsh, I think she's going to be a great fit.

 

The big ones? Not really, fire up the D8 drop the ripper and head east they come up like big spuds, size sort with the excavator.
Crushed? Not going to happen in mud season goops up the works- screens, rolls, belts. Has to be dry or frozen.
