What can I say, I'm still stuck in the past. 

By the way, what is it with the xxxxx345 screen name if it's a 349 excavator?  It's not nice to screw with an old man ... geez.

Id love to play with that, just not every 12 hr night or likely day.

@theyolksonyou ... it's got to be much better than watching yard after yard after yard of beige carpeting going by ... yes/no?

theyolksonyou

@Jeepster47 fortunately that's a small part if what I do, but yes

@grege345 not knocking what you do. Just we all get tired of the same ole same ole

I don't think I've ever posted in this thread and haven't read it to the best of my recollection, so this may have already been covered.... But shouldn't the answer to this question always be "looking at the egghead forum"?

@theyolksonyou ... just pulling your leg on the carpeting Jason. 

But not on equipment operating.  My father was a heavy equipment operator.  That's what I wanted to do until a fantastic high school teacher redirected me.  Took me ten years, but I eventually circled around and ended up working for a heavy equipment company.  One of the benefits was that I had to be able to operate the equipment we were testing.  Every day was different ...

Enjoying the weather in beautiful Pawleys Island, South Carolina.   No Egg but my mobile TEC gasser, along with my frozen pulled pork and brisket from the Egg, will hold us over for the week.

@Jeepster47 fortunately every day is different for me, but if I could spend a few days in a dozer or track hoe...

Quietly listening to a couple of Barn Owls. They (each species have a distinct sound). This time of year is when we hear the mating calls of this species. 
I love hearing the  Barred Owls territorial calls. 
I love living here...Nature rocks! Piss poor pic but, I didn't want to scare em off. 

We have a couple of Barn's around great to her the female calling out at night and wait to hear if you you get the gobbling/cackling back from the males.
Tonight got the little boat read for it's first trip (this year) out Destin pass in the morn for some red snapper. The season opened last weekend with 2-3' sea's then went to 4-6's all week, now back under 2's, got to be picky with a little 19.5' bay boat.

I'm predictable if nothing else.

@theyolksonyou its fine. It's not what I thought I'd be doing with my life but I like building things and figuring things out so it turned out well. They treat me good so I give them 100%.

@grege345 flooring is definitely not my childhood dream...

I got to operate dozers everyday for a year.  First 3 months was bliss.  After that it got to be like any other job, except I didn't share a cube and I had great views from my windows.

I wasn't in a production environment so if I was getting bored or frustrated I would dig a hole big enough to bury the dozer.  Park in it for a few minutes then drive out and fill it in.  That was always fun.

Excellent fish...  Is it going on the egg?  I would like to see what you do with it!

@DoubleEgger No I didn't. Crane or Helicopter lift?  Either way...no bueno.

@NPHuskerFL looked to be a 300+ ton air cooled that a crane lost about 30 floors up. It bounced off the building a few times. 10 folks got hurt.

That's hella crazy! @DoubleEgger That'll be getting a big-time investigation I'm sure. Extremely Lucky nobody died.

Somebody is stroking a big check for this one....

Truly outstanding.

I did, and ironically just last week they hoisted a similar chiller onto the building right next to mine on the Base, only two stories up and I did walk around it (it wasn't roped off).
