I wish I was as fine, as those who work the pipeline!
Actually still quick enough that it missed me. Just quick enough. Had the loader up, picked up a big square, saw a drip, drip drip, got out to see what was going on, wiggled the hose, down she came. Quick connect was broken at the threads. Didn't get a drop of hydro on me either. (that comes from working floors!!!)

Was going to go for a swim in the campground pool with my wife, but she chickened out. Why? Because this morning there are about 66 (I counted them) large crabs roaming around the bottom of the pool. Each crab is approx 6" - 7" across. This is a type of land crab. Too lazy to fish them out with the net and will let the pool guy do it when he comes in.
Life is rough, so will go and recover from the disappointment with another coffee.
Before anybody says it, NO, I do not have the crabs!

When I posted that, we were getting complaints of somebody near Studio 28 on 28th st in Wyoming, walking around yelling and cussing at people. He was wearing orange. I was gonna give you a heads-up to get lost because the po-po were on the way.
