Did something stupid

Yes I admit it. I done went and did A very stupid thing, I parked A 18000# road tractor in the yard last night. I knew we had rain, But not almost 15" In two weeks .Care to guess what the results were. The truck sank in almost 8" took 5 hours with shovels to get it out. Boy was that STUPId of me or what??? Got home close to midnight last nite was sleepy. Leave tuesday morning for three more weeks out.

Too bad you didnt have a video camera and make a Vonage commercial, i.e., man cuts down tree on his own car, etc.

Dont feel bad -- I drove mine thru the yard, over the ditch and into the creek by moving it when I knew it was too icy!!
And yes buried it too in the mud, but was able to pull it out!
