I just had another fun experience at work. We are having our parking lot scraped down. The ice had gotten up to about 10 inches deep and it will be 40 next week. They started on it yesterday. They use a giant excavator to do it. Our parking lot is full of trucks with 20 -40 toy haulers. This guy just drives around quickly and scrapes about half of the lot. Today they bring an extra excavator and a skid steer as well. All three tractors are running around cleaning everything up. The largest one is doing all thee scraping. He gets to an area that is solid ice and not compacted snow. he keeps rocking the tractor, go forward, go back, and repeat. He does this five times successfully. The sixth time he comes back about 6 inches too far and slams into a three story hotel buckling the load barring wall and breaking a couple of windows. He missed destroying the building by six inches in either direction. I have to buy new underwear.
