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.............

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!
