20 something years ago I was outting a septic tank in. I rented a back hoe with a bucket on the front and a skid loader. My wife challenged me with, "Are you sure you can do this?" I said, "All those guys do is sit up there and push levers."

Well a day and a half later, after turning over the back hoe and having to right it with hydraulic jacks and come-alongs, I was so beaten up and sun burned I couldn't get out of bed. Had to miss two shifts at the station.

The meaness of this is, every time we pass someone working one of these jewels, my wife likes to point and say, "Look at him, he's just sitting there pushing levers." Twenty years later and she still hits me with that.
