Nothin' Runs Like a Deere

Nicely done,

2 seasons, 2 seasons I've had to have this piece of shit Toro in the shop. I miss my john Deere more then I miss the Mrs who is visiting up north.

I needed your help yesterday,Mr.King of concrete.........

I had to mix up 4 bags of concrete(I`m guessing here) 80 lbs apiece(?) with a damn trowel.......I asked the sup where the hell the mixer was at.He said he didn`t want to see me carry so much stuff up to the roof.

And that was the easy part.............The hard part was carrying those bags over my shoulder from where I had to park the truck,behind the building,thru the abandoned building(app.100 yds),up three stories,carry them up the ladder and thru a roof hatch that a church mouse could barely get thru.


Oh.........and then to get the two and a half water jugs that it took to mix it up thru the same scenario.......

I asked him where our crane was............He told me he didn`t want to spend the extra 500$ it would take to send him there.

Jeeze.....so lets spend extra to have me do all this........And to think I have a foreman`s/safety meeting every damn month to give our input about this kind of dumb ass shit from happening..........

and ps.........it takes me 20 minuets to mow my lawn by hand.lol

I had to mix my concrete in a 5 gallon bucket.........no joke.

Then carry 3 gallons at a time app. another 20-30 foot away......That's some heavy shit btw....

And yeah, we usually have electric mixers.....A drill with a paddle. Soimetimes a grub hoe and a wheel barrow,but of course no way was I getting a wheel barrow up there.

Sometimes this certain Superintendant is an idiot.......

I`m 52 yrs and the two other guys they sent me,one is older and the other looks older than both of us............Sometimes good help is hard to find. .

Today our friends are picking ME up at 9:30 and we are going to the beach. Had to rub it in to the Mrs as she was in 42 degrees and rain yesterday

And trust me I do look at the riding mowers at the Depot and Lowes every chance I get, but my purchases always get moved to the back of the project list.
