And alsofore just finished pouring tank ring for 1 million gallon oil storage tank, had to remove 40 inches of dirt, 90 foot diameter circle, backfill with 40 inches select fill clay, compacting in 8 inch layers, put up with 9 inches of rain the whole time. Ifn they ever manage to fill tank up, it will weigh 10 million pounds. (sure hope it don't sink and I get my panties sued off) Insurance company required 4 compaction test during construction, and it passed them all, still got fingers crossed though,,,randyp

Bought me a brand new bobcat skid steer S770, got a brushgrinder, (or wife chopper) with it, grapple, bucket, set of forks, take on or off tracks, cab, air, heat, radio with mp3 player,,,just drive through woods and grind everything up,,(cept a piece of old rebar hidden in leaves, that dint go well). Weather don't matter, just get in and crank tunes up. I hope pic loads, not sure bout this piece of doodoo laptop,,,randyp

My main industrial sized themally fired computer fried a while back, bought me a cute lil laptop, haven't figured out how to load pictures yet, but have a boatload of really cool ones will get on later.randyp

Yall all straighten up and get it together,,I leave for 5 minutes,,er,,,maybe months, come back and find out otherdog is in the moonshine bidness, hatcity is running round slaying cute lil birds with his truck, cant I leave you kids alone 5 minutes? I hope all are well and am going to try and get everybody back on track. randyp

Oh, now you gone and got me all upset...... temper tantrums and pouting will commence.

that "turd" was the king of European highways in its day... F88 was its name and it ran at 88mph..!!!! hmmm, could be an F89, even better..!!!!!

One of the first trucks I road tested when I got my HGV class 1 licence, syncro box, loads of power, used to leave cars standing at the traffic lights..!!! ok, it was the UK of the 70's and high horsepower was a 1500cc Ford Cortina..

Volvo of the 60's and 70's is not the Volvo you know today..... very technically advanced in the day, 52 tonne gross where legal, and a comfortable sleeper cab given the length laws that still dictate cabovers as a means of propulsion. Parked beside the Leyland product of the day it just looked fast..!!

Volvo and Scania ruled the roost from Ireland in the west to Iran in the east.... dealer support was top class... parts were always in stock.

OK... I know you were kidding..... and you are forgiven, I've called off the hit.... but some of us actually like older Volvos and Scanias.... if there was an F88/89 anywhere in North America I'd be after it with chequebook ready... yes, I'm a fan..!!!

pic is one I found of the company I worked for, taken about 1976.

'New Volvo USA' I would not touch... not impressed to say the least...

A dern V*olvo is still a dern V*olvo, no matter whut year, country, model, or whutever. You can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig,,(however a few texas farmers may differ on that opinion bout the pig),,,randyp

Wow! Glad all turned out well! Stop doing stuff like that! Thats a pretty good load to be heading out across the prairie with. No doubt bout it, you are a very skilled driver! (me,, I woulda let go the wheel, and been screaming like a 4 year old on a sugar high) randyp

Heh, heh,,Get this,,,some moron from texas decided to dig a pond just a few days before the largest rainfall since the invention of the mayan calendar! I wonder what he was thinking,,(stop humping my leg Spot, Im trying to take a picture). His name is prolly on side of that truck, but not gonna bother with sloshing out there and looking. I think he musta got his "dirt degree" from the university of oklahoma. randyp

I would have tarped it Officer, but I ran outta tarp, honest, really..

Rain is actually in the forecast here in Dry Gulch,,i mean,,Daingerfield, Texas! Im so excited, I could become urinarilly incontinent! Im gonna go play in it and try to actually bog down or sumpin! Dust the spider webs off the chokers boys,,here i come!! randyp

Last and certainly not least,,the old standby Komatsu 41,,randyp
