Interesting series of shots. Thanks for sharing !Neat set of pics !. Interesting to note that the 4000 'scaling the wall' has the bucket facing the 'normal' way.... I thought the buckets were reversed for that kinda operation or is it generally the bigger machines do that ?
Whatever, keep' em coming and if you can include any of your 'rallycross' pics even better
Good stuff George!

Thanks for sharing Geo.
Looks like you're an inch from capsizing...
That's San Xavier right? I've been there in the 1990's.
I've taken shots like that...

Went to Kamloops to visit No. 2 daughter for a few days and traveled Highways 16 & 5 for the first time: highly recommend this route as an alternate to Highway 97 . Took some potato quality photos with my phone(why bring the Canon says I). This is the first time I've seen the Rockies in 6 years.
These were taken in the village of Valemount. The wife says this is now on the short-list for retirement. My short-list only includes ocean and golf course...gonna miss her.
The nice thing about these highways is there is not a lot of traffic, Highway 97 being the main route, so one can stop at will and take photos.
The C-in-C of the front seats does not like photos of her taken so any that I do get are taken Kamikaze style though most of the time I get shot down
My ride at a card-lock gas pump in McBride. A shame that Ford won't be making these any more
Nice pics Geo.

AMEN brother... my wife wanted to move back north when we retire, I told her perhaps her second husband will enjoy that.
I'll stay right here on the Gulf Coast thank you.
P.S. C'mon down some time Geo, we got plenty of both ocean and golf courses.

Those are beautiful shots. Kinda reminds me of the Sierras a little closer to where I live down here in southern California.

They don't seem to be that organized here Andy. The hydraulic cylinders(arrow) mount broke on dayshift causing it to rotate 90°, stripping the wiring from the solenoids at the bottom of each cylinder. A quick check in stores inventory showed none in stock but there was one in Edmonton and one in Spokane, Washington. This requires a very expensive hotshot. As the mechanic and his boss pondered the length of time for the hotshots arrive I suggested robbing grader 3 as it will be dead for a week or more. Total down time...90 minutes as opposed to 2-3 days
