Construction .... and men....

Not all men are created equal.

Some men have bigger toys than other men.

I am keeping the identity of this man quiet...and hidden... because he knows where I live and I don't need him digging holes in my yard!

But he digs really good holes.


And this man has really stupid   interesting co-workers.

Like the kind that doesn't see the holes that are dug by the first man.

And the stupid interesting co-workers are rather dimwitted and don't see the holes when they put their trucks in reverse.


And the stupid interesting co-workers drive in  reverse in the direct line of the drainage pipe which is exposed.

Yep.  Thank goodness the drainage pipe was there, or who knows when the truck would have stopped.


Without the drainage pipe, the truck could have fallen into China, which is on the other side of the world.
(I know it is there because my kids were smaller they wanted to dig to China, using the flatware from my kitchen).


Yep.
That drainage pipe came in really handy.
It is a nice place to rest ones "backside".


But men like big toys.
I think they make stupid irresponsible choices so they can use all of their toys.


So, man number one found another toy.  And he used it.
I wouldn't want my "backside" lifted with this toy, but the driver of this truck was grateful.


Just a little "lift" and he could move tons of otherwise "scrap metal".


Just get the prongs centered under the bumper.....
Make SURE you are centered....
and the truck is in Neutral....


Yeah, get right in there...
That's right....


Lift up high...
and give a little push forward.....


Push just a little harder...
the truck is rolling forward....


Keep pushing...
You are still very very very close to the drain....
And remember the ground is meant to slant towards the drain.....
a gentle slant, but still a slant....


Whew.... I am so happy...
*clapping from the ladies who are watching, and taking pictures*

Now, get back to work, and quit playing with your toys....
You are suppose to be installing a water storage facility for the City Of Ammon!

  1. Very Funny!!!
    I remember trying to dig to China with my mom's spoons!! It was not fitting to use a shovel, that meant you were digging for worms, we had to use a spoon, and meet the Chinese kid, who was digging to meet us, with his mom's chopsticks!
