Dad had a great birthday
Original Message   Jun 17, 2005 12:03 pm
There is a golf course community being built around my dads house. He has been gathering large rocks for landscaping using his IH 574 w/ loader. Of course this isn't big enough to retrieve the biggest rocks.  My dad has gotten to know the construction crews working around him, and for his birthday they let him borrow  and run one of their toys. He actually got to use it for 2 days racking up about 15 hours on it. Wish I was there to play.............

That's some birthday present.  It was good of the crew to let him use it.  Don't tell Shoveler - I might even like to play with one of those toys - something of mass distruction.

It's nice when friends let you use their equipment.  It's even nicer when they take pity on you.................and do the job for you.

Did they have to drag him out of the cab at the ned of the day ? I'm glad to see he got to "play" with a really nice toy.

Yeah, they did about have to drag him out of the cab..........and you couldn't wipe that goofy grin off of his face for another couple of days after!

It was a nice unit, nearly as new as the one in the pic......I think he said it had just a little over 100 hours on it.

Marshall, I would do the same thing! I hate that guy so much I want to demolish everything that has to do with him! I hope he scures up again so that he will be tossed in the prizon this time!
