Re: Fall Foliage and Photographers Weekend

Yeh Chris, are you thinking they also paid a visit to the C&TS?

Actually the whole incident became momentarily frustrating and then quite amusing after I returned with the blocking. The 2 young macho men didn't want to take my advise (I have spent many hours around large machinery and setting up blocking for cranes and similar kinds of things, so ya'd think I could organize getting a car off a rr tie in a flat parking lot.) My intention was to use the blocking so with scissor jacks collasped fully all the way, we could utillize the full extent of their lift, use additional blocks and gravel under the tires to keep the tires raised so they could just back off. Instead they isisted on digging out under the tires, which achieved nothing. I sat down in my pickup and watched the show tempted to just drive off except I needed to return the blocking to various places on the dredge. After a few futile minutes the pregnant young lady took charge and chewed the guys a new one telling them exactly what I had already proposed. The 2 young guys looked like a couple of little puppy dogs that had just been spanked.
