Well THE BOSS - Owner of my first place of employment was self made millionaire and he only had a 9th grade education . He had a bum leg and hobbled around like a wild man . If he liked you you were in but never cross him . He had a strange way of hiring people . Say we were going to start a ne3w job and we needed laborers . And we needed three he would hire five . The first morning of the job he would be there with his pick up and he would have five brand new #2 spade shovels and give each new hire a shovel they all had the same job to do that day and at the end of the day he would return and then have each guy bring him the new shovel . If any of the shovels still had paper on the blade he would thank that man for his work and tell him that he did NOT NEED him any more . So out of five guys on the first day we would be lucky to keep the three we needed and if we did not then we would start all over the next day . And those guys that would ware the paper off the face of a shovel would have a JOB for the season. And he paid better then the rest for labors. Now as for me John, Jessey , willis and Jim we were the main full timers same went with operators out of the hall , the old man wanted to see dirt moving so if you were on a dozer it had best be rollen dirt and being worked to the max , if you were on a pan and you were making a cut between you and the push cat you had best fill it till it is running off all four sides and in th3e shortest distance posable and when you were full you best mash the pedal and start shifting gears up and moving . If you were running a shovel then you best be making cycle every thirtyfive to forty seconds . A fifteen min break was a fifteen min break a half hour luch was a half hour . At the start of the day you had best have your machine warming up a good twenty min. before start time. At the end of the day you fueled up greased up clean tracks and checked your machine over and if it had a problem the you best tell the mechanics about it then or fixed it yourself , If it was a major repair then you went and got one of the spare machine ready for the next day . Every job we had back up machines for every piece on the job.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live
