Now, now. Those guys think?? I watched them dig a 1500 foot ditch along side of a 10' embankment along the road here last fall. The water still runs down the hill above the road, across the road and into his neat little ditch. That took a day with a backhoe and two trucks. Half an hour with the grader would have recrowned the road and let the water run over the bank if nothing else.... Ditching the high side where it was needed was going to require a track hoe, so that would need to be done later. Yep, if ya can't do it right, do something stupid. Thinking is not high on the list of things to do for most of these guys. Many get the job because of who they know or who the blow, not what they know, and it shows in the maintenance of our roads. Fight with the buggers. It's the only way to get ANYTHING done. Fight them, fight them, FIGHT them. I couldn't get a road plowed this winter until I 'explained' to them that if I couldn't haul now on frozen roads, I'd haul after breakup on thawed roads by whatever means necessary, be it a dualed 100 hp FWA tractor or a D4H. Road was plowed the next day. Sadly, that's how we have to deal with the highways department these days.
