Some people need a seatbelt for their mouths.

I'm coming home from lunch and come across this mess. They are trying to get this overloaded truck across the street. It bottomed out and got stuck on the pavement. No problem, that's what the bulldozer is for. a gentle flick with the boom and the truck is out of the way. Tore up the pavement though. Bulldozer rides on old tires to preserve the pavement. My work day has been better than this so far.

The truck and backhoe are obscuring the pic of the bulldozer

I think you mean excavator. I have a friend that runs one of them and always gets in trouble with the dump truck guys for putting the bucket in the bed and pulling them back closer so he can load them. Really ticks them off.

Generally more expensive than a back-ho.

Here's some other photos of the project. Big ass gas line, right next to the house. Now if it could be tapped for personal fueling, that'd be something!
