Thread: Lets See The Transport havn a Oops moment

Driving down the price of fuel.

Very clever. Explaining that to the missus could be challenging. I wanted a piss badly and took the shortest route.

Wandered out to check the letterbox earlier and noticed that the neighbour's Air B'n'B guests' departure hadn't gone as smoothly as they might have liked.. one wheel soundly in the culvert with a ridge of stones beneath the centre-line of the car. At least they'd stopped before they broke anything, although I think it was more that they couldn't move any further..

Wandered over to offer a hand and managed to get them out alright by jacking up the lowside (with a block under the jack), then bridging a hefty plank across the culvert under the wheel. Bit of careful manoeuvring and they were home free.

Just had a knock on the door as I write this and he turns up with a couple bottles of wine and a few beers as thanks.

He will be back to take those wines and beers back when he sees he's on social media

Sulpha truck crashed on icey road, on the way to the mine.

Few phots on a 5500 Hitachi shovel move, we had a few problems, big one being scraping the main upper structure on the bridge, shout down for a day, and problems getting onto and off one access road, got trailer hung up.

Ive got a pretty cool video, of the boom and stick pulling up, out of the river valley, 4 trucks, all drive axles chained up, two pull, two push, but as yet no way to post. I keep trying.

Looks warm and toasty. Friend of mine's stationed in Edmonton and he sent me a pic of his thermometer last week, -34oC.

One more month to endure then 6 weeks off, fishing and hunting in NZ.

Up load your vids to flikr (or similar ) and copy, paste the link here.

Just a bowl tip over,not an unusual sight. Days gone by it would have been a 2 minute fix, now its a 2.5 hr investigation while 2 50t diggers and 5 30t ADTs sit and wait. Then a 2minute fix.

Does that mean you are going to make the Big bore shoot on the 10 March

Right on five o'clock last night, I saw an big owens truck trying to reverse into my neighbors driveway to make a delivery, and he smashed off the phone line that was hanging a little low.
The kicker was that he had a spotter with him that stood and watched it happen. Bloody Indians the pair of them with very little Engrish between them. They unloaded then fucked off without making the call to chorus. Let's just say that after talking to head office in chch, those two will be lucky to have their jobs to go back to on Monday.
