Remembering the week we cleared the old mill channel in '08

The whole crew was in sync, and we pulled out a clean 12 yards an hour for three days straight with the old 8-inch cutter. You just don't get that kind of rhythm on the new, over-computerized rigs. What's the last job where everything just clicked like that for you guys?

What about the jobs where the rhythm came from pure silence, just you and the machine?

Totally get that feeling with my old backhoe.

Oh man, that quiet focus is something else! I remember one summer patching a long gravel driveway, just the low diesel rumble and the scrape of the bucket. It was so peaceful I almost forgot I was working. That kind of job gets into your head in the best way.
