Hey Guys,
Logger buddy calls and says delivery for me around 10am. Near 3pm, he calls and says, "skidder broke down, not sure what's up w/it".
Fairly new, and thinks computer problem. Find out more on Tuesday. Will get load out as soon as possible.
OK, I'll put off long wkend of cut/split detail...
Next, Dealer of my new boiler calls and says, "boom truck broke!" Be in touch next week for delivery.
OK, would have looked good sitting on my new pad, so no admiring my new "toy" this week...
The real kicker, Lift broke at service station, and my new truck fell, front first and slid into wall!!!! 5 ft drop. Looked mostly cosmetic, at first, BUT, further look shows, bent front axel, bent frame, etc...
OK, I need a beer!!!
Don't know what to expect on the truck? 10k mi on '10 dodge/cummins SRW 3500 4x4. Not at all fond of the possible outcome of replacing frame, or straightening. I just know it won't ever be right.
Nobody hurt, THANKFULLY!!! Just in for oil change and tire rotate. Things I once always did myself, but the local guy always did a good job and very fair to me. Good friends and nothing they could have foreseen happening.
Next.......
Bill
