Rock farm story. Parent company also owned a fairly good sized public works seeking construction outfit. One fall the destruction division has a portable rock plant in the area they need to stash away for the winter. "Take it to Sisquoc. Nobody ever looks out there." We mined the river bed when it was available but also had 2 pits out of the river, but every bit as deep as the river bottom. Some years the water level would get the low spots in the pits, some not. Destruction division shows up with their junk and takes it to the LOWEST part of the pit, leaves it and hauls *** for home. I had a bad feeling about it the first time I saw where they left it. Winter comes on and it was an average one to us, the river never flowed, but the water table came up a huge amount. "Boss, we should think about getting that plant out of the pit. At least move it to higher ground." "That's where they left it. That's where it's staying." A week later there are puddles in the low spots and there has been no new rain. I got the same response. Their problem now. I made sure I had dry clothes in the pickup after that. When the water got to about 3' deep under that iron they decided to move it. Took me and 2 loaders all day to fish it out. Took the mechanics all night to change out the hydraulic and trans oils from running under water for so long. They were not happy. All that nonsense because they didn't want the county to see that plant on the property. A "not even duct tape can fix stupid moment". :rofl:
