About 10 years ago, I took my tractor down behind the dam to scoop out some dirt. It's a pretty severe angle. I got a big load, lifted it and the back end started coming off the ground. I quickly lowered and dumped it. As Sonny Corleone said in The Godfather movie "Shtoopid, just Shtoopid. The ROPS were not in place and I wasn't wearing the seat belt. Had I not lowered it quickly, I would have been wadded up below the whole works and my Wife would have collected on some life insurance.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
