Note to Self: First Gear Is Not Where You Think It Is
My immediate future, originally uploaded by outdoor_type.
I can now add dump truck driver and operator to my list of handy skills. I can safely make this claim because none of you were around today to witness my amazing maneuvers in the Ford F-350 with flat bed and hydraulic lift upgrade (and if you were around today then, well, I’m sorry for cutting you off like that. Also, Cathlic U… I swear I was lost BOTH times we toured your campus today).
Seriously though, I did eventually get the hang of things. But I also learned that the first rule of dump truck driving is you don’t talk about dump truck driving (because that’s when things go downhill. quickly). In any case, I gotta give a big thanks to Brian F. for letting me borrow his truck and for providing technical support over the phone throughout the day (thanks Brian!).
