Kitties don't like ice....

If you ever go to a mine/quarry, watch out for, um, traffic...

LOL. WOW, those are some pretty serious pictures. Man! Why would you ever risk brining a huge dozer or trackhoe out on ice. I never ever trust ice, even though they say it's really thick (when I'm out snowmobling, that's what they say). Those workers must have bailed in the knick (sp?) of time! Great photos though.

And I thought those things only happened to me! Wow, I bet someone caught heck from the boss.

From this angle it looks like he almost made it!

Yeah! Just chain it to another tractor, unhook the chisel plow or whatever and tug it out... This kinda thing has happened several times in my area, a few times the county paid the repair bills when they said the bridge would hold such and such load.

I was watching on tv the other day a documentary about how tandem tractor trailers drive across the frozen lakes up in canada all winter. They can't exceed 15 mph because they create a wave under the ice in front of them and if it hits the shore as they approach it'll blow out the ice. Now THAT's some serious driving. Not for me............./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
