Boy, don't you just hate when that happens? /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
My tractor property is smack in the middle of California gold country, and whenever I'm diggin' dirt with my tractor I keep hoping to turn up some shiny yellow rocks. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Would be just my luck to drop into a mine shaft. /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif
Harv - I just want to be the first to ask: If you strike gold and become fabulously wealthy, how about flying me out to your place to see it? We'll talk tractors and beverage cup dynamics. I'll bring a container of your favorite beverage (not of the sort that typically is consumed when operating machinery...). /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

You're on, Mark! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif But... you gotta bring you're own tractor. If I turn up some nuggets with my little 'L', just imagine what your (alleged) brawny EarthForce monster could do. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
As for the beverage, since I'm a bonafide teetotaler, how 'bout some of your homemade Gatorade-like elixir?
That would be real weird to see this lake draining right before me. It would be a true once-in-a-lifetime event, yet probably be one of the scariest. I'll have to watch where I dig next time! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I wish could witness something like that. From a safe distance of course! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Maybe from the air.
Harv - Ok, that works - maybe we could have a little "every machine for itself" digging party - you know, where whatever your machine digs up you get to keep, and whatever mine digs up, I get to keep. Of course, if we were to work out a deal like that, I guess I'd pay my own way out... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
As for the drink mix, no problem! I'll mix up a couple pounds of dry mix and we'll be hydrated diggin' fools... /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif The dry stuff is a lot easier to carry than the wet stuff, anyway.
