Been kinda busy with small stuff, but got 3 large acreage jobs come in at once (fist pumping here)

500 acres, 1200 acres and 600 acres.

Tight scheduling but doable if it all goes as planned. (yea right)

My ATV has not been out of the barn for a couple of months, but last Wednesday before I pulled it out, I noticed an oil stain directly below the rear axle.

No biggie, a guy started an ATV repair shop here recently and I decided to give him some business to replace the seals in the rear end.

Went to go pick it up on Thursday feeling pretty good and of course it would not start.

Crap!!!

Now, on Monday my best employee (other than the one named Hiper) is in about 30 pieces in this guys shop and he has no clue what is wrong.

Borrowed one from a buddy, but it is not decked out like mine just for surveying, but at least it runs.

Might as well be a member of my family going down.

Maybe this guy will come thru, doubt it tho.

Murphy is the biggest a--hole I have ever met. Someone should pull a nine and pop a cap in his... 🙂

Kirchov's Corollary

Murphy was an optimist.

Don't forget Hofstadter's Law

> Tight scheduling but doable if it all goes as planned.

Any project will take twice as long as you think it will, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

You must have either said "THIS SHOULD BE EASY" or thought it. As everytime I either say it or think it, that is when everything goes out the window.

Cannon's Law!!!

Named for an old Party Chief I worked with in 1970:

"All the easy surveys have already been done...get over it!"

That's called jinxing it, or more commonly known as Duggie's law...;-)

A nine is not big enough. A 12.7 (.50 cal) is more in line with what is needed.

Andy is right, Murphy was an optimist.:good:
