Excavators Lunch

denick

Wednesday, March 29, 2006. Sunshine, almost no wind, 65+ degrees. Spring is finally here. Lunch time comes I take my lunch box and sit looking out over the berkshire mountains of CT, NY, MA. Crows, hawks, robins, blue jays and numerous small birds around us. The turkeys are strutting in a field nearby. Maybe an Eagle will make an appearance? Earlier a coyote ran through the site. Trees have some buds and crocus’s bluebells and daffodils are pushing up.

The job is going well. Machines are running with no problems. The sandwich my wife packed is very good and just makes the day better. I open my thermos and poor some tea. THEN it hits me. How does a thermos know when to keep something Hot or when it should be Cold? How does it Know?????

Ha Ha?

It's all in the Vacuum. Sounds like you were stuck in a Thomas Kinkade time warp. Seriously I know what you're talking about I use to live in Warren yrs. ago and it was just like that. In Greenwich you're lucky to see a few squirrels and the rest of the nuts down there.

For God's sake! Stay away from Nick! There has got to be an asteroid hurling through space right now destined for an impact on his jobsite, probably headed right for his Thermos...

My wife has always packed my lunch.
Every day without missing one.
When we got married I told her that she has a choice.
Either every moring I get some nookie, or I get a lunch for the day.
I have a packed lunch every day.

It's part of the same mystical force that allows a wife to know when you have extra money in your pocket... How does she know?????

No at 5:30 am when we go to work its not tripping over the black bears that we worry about.

Today at a job on CT's deepest lake watched a bird approaching from a long distance knowing it was a big bird as it got closer. It made a half circle and fell out of the sky. It pulled up short and grabbed a good size fish from the lake in it's talon's. The eagle turned back the way it came from and disappeared out of sight a long way away.

Don't get to see that often here in CT. Might be the best lunch of the year.

I ate an egg salad and cinder sandwhich on this today
as it made its way up into the Alleghany mountains. The smell of steam and sulphur filled the air as I stood in the open section of a 'combo' mail car / coach directly behind the tender. Best sandwhich I've had this year.
