Taking the plunge

Took forever to download the pic but well worth the wait, a beauty of a tractor. That backhoe is a brute, congratulations on your new purchase.

Sorry about the photo size. I need to compress it so you don't need to T1 line to download it.

I do like that BH.

At least it was real beer. Our "steel beach" picnics were the "near beer" variants for awhile and then it was 2 cans per sailor later in my career (every 90 days I think)?? Made for great liberty ashore though.

While you were getting 2 beers every 90 days, I was getting 90 beers every 2 days in garden spots like Bermuda, Sigonella, Kefalvik, Rota, Rosey Road, etc!

I do recall we drank beers in Paris in Oct05, right across the street, on the corner, from the Concorde Lafayette! Is my memory still working correctly?

edit: Nope, just looked at my calendar! When did we do beers?

Could've been the James Joyce or maybe Magellan's or how about Some Place Else. Or how bout the Barrel?

I have two bottles of San Miguel setting on the counter right now... wife brought back for her co-work who was stationed at Clark AFB.

Looks like you guys hooked up... nice looking tractor... watch your overhead and be carefull... remember 2000 - 3000 psi can be deadly. I like orange for the new tractor... Blue works too.

Yea, probably one of those among a slew of other places, it all runs together!
