So true:



My old buddy Tony used to say (about his 25' Grady White) B-O-A-T... Bring Out Another Thousand. Tammy said it was more than that. I wonder what she ever did with that thing?

I was coming home from the gig over in Troutville last night, and hit a pig in the road. The pig ran off, and it was late, so I didn't stop or anything. Served him right. A pig ain't got no business being in the middle of the road that shade of night anyway. This morning, the State Troopers woke me up knocking on the door... asking if I had hit a pig on the road last night. I did, I said... but it was late, and the pig run off, so I didn't stop and tell anybody. How'd you guys know about it?


The pig squealed on you.


Okay. I'm done here...  ;D

Not really a joke... just something I saw go down up the other day. Looked like a terrible idea. I took a couple pics and left the fallout zone. Not having a hardhat or an umbrella on me.

kinda split on that one.  it looks like the rigger actually got it mostly right.  if it was my load,  i woulda had a pallet underneath  it and closed the door so nothing's spilling out.  wouldn't stand that close to it, either.  i can tell ya that wouldn't pass muster on a sturgeon job site.  kinda falls under the category of just because you can doesn't mean ya should:

I think it's really cute that the 2nd guy up apparently thinks that if the smaller forklift starts to fall, he can hold it on there.....
Any job I worked, that would have gotten everyone involved fired - and the union could not save them.

spent a lot of time on my last job in a commercal electrical fab warehouse.  saw a lot of forklift mishaps.  could spin some yarns.

so if you number the participants starting at the guy operating the forklift on hte ground, it appears that the dude #2 has positioned himself between the load  and the fork mast, setting himself up to be crushed if hte load slips.  dude #2 also appears to be operating lift #2 from outside the operator's seat (a lot of forklifts won't let ya do that, they probably bypassed the interlock), dude #3 is probably out there to help counterbalance lift #2 against the weight of lift #3 and whatever that is they're moving.

to say a forklift is heavy is putting it mildly especially a big commercial one. note also the complete lack of PPE on any of the participants.  my old safety guy would have a stroke if he saw that.  oh yeah.

back to the humor.  i'm spent.
