Cool....

Bad in Late 60's I was working summer job as a survivor flunky for OK Natural gas company.  We were checking on the elevation of a newly relocated gas main (due to one of the new bypasses in Tulsa).  I was about 15' down in a hole holding a stadia rod on top of a 24" pipe, when a rather large nasty bug decided to land on my back and start biting me.  I felt a very soft touch on my back and bug was gone.  I looked around and the guy on the backhoe had reached out and scraped the bug off.   That boys and girls a good backhoe operator.

Took a job with the town of Garrison Tx. when I lived there. Before they bought me a trencher the old man on the town crew was an OPERATOR. The old steel pipe had to be uncovered ith out damaging it. This guy might have scraped the pipe lightly but he NEVER ripped any out of the ground. He'd tell me I jut rubbed or found a union-git in there with a shovel an sure nuff-a pipe union. He most definitely had a TOUCH. I cold excavate a hole close to the size and depth needed but I did NOT have the touch. RIDE SAFE.
Today is the tommorow you worried about yesterday. If at first you don't succeed screw it-save it for nite check.  1964  1968 U S Navy. Two cruises off Nam.
