ever have one of those days? I did today.


I was operating a Bob Cat today and needed to clear some dirt away from a new Building Target that is going up. I needed to mark Sub Grade on the side of Target to let the Operator know where he has to grade the dirt at.

Anyway, I get a long side of Target as Bricklayers are still setting block for the walls of Target (the walls maybe 10 feet or so)

The minute I put my Bucket down to grade next to that wall, my passenger tires sank in the dirt and spun making the Bob Cat lean over, and when it leaned over the top of the Bob Cat, hit the fresh wall, and toppled it on top of the Bob Cat! I had 10 feet of 8 inch block's come crashing down on the Bob Cat, but thank god the thing had a cage going around the hole thing.

My Boss is pissed to know end, but accidents happen, but that was a big accident and sucked having the new wall come down like it did.

bad days suck

 

Yikes! That doesn't sound like fun.

But hey, the day is almost over and IT'S HUMPDAY!

 

what the heck is humpday?? everyone keeps talking about it?

 

Wednesday....middle of the work week.

 

You should have played the "Im special" card, started barking, then licked his arm. That's what I do when I screw up at work. Freaks the boss out and he forgets to yell.

 

hmmm. that term must not have made it to mormonville (utah) yet.

 

I believe this is your usual reply when misfortune befalls others

So here it is back at ya.

 

Note to self: Never work a jobsite with mattineer.

 

It could have been alot worse! I understand it was an accident, but try to use some foresight and think about what you're doing before you make a decision. The next one could be fatal!

 

Let me guess... no pictures?

 

But does your soul leave your body at night....???

 

Don't feel back Mattenqueer, it all evens out. For example, I had an awesome day at work and got a helicopter ride. You see, it all balances out! If we all had good days then the world would spin out of orbit and we'd all die a horrible death. So thanks for taking one for the team today!

 

Why is that a bad day, destroying stuff with bobcats is always fun.. I was screwing around with one last week, driving around with the bucket loaded and the boom all the way up, and I tipped forward, it was kinda crazy.. Everyone got a big laugh from it though...

 

Try to keep up UC.....the hulks stole his camera and flew off with the mosquitos remember?

 

Interesting take although I don't know if the team could handle Matt as Martyr.

What kind of chopper D? Bell jet ranger? Check this out:
