Blew off a port job in Norfolk because I doubted a new bucket

I was skeptical when my buddy said the new rock bucket from Caterpillar could out-dig our old one at the river terminal near Norfolk. After 3 shifts, we pulled 2,000 tons of sand and shell without a single snag. That bucket paid for itself in a week. Has anyone else had a tool that surprised them like that?

Yeah, my last surprise was when I actually remembered where I parked.

You know @parker_jones50, that actually made me think of something totally different. Remembering where you parked is nice but have you ever had that moment where you walk into the grocery store for one thing and come out two hours later with no idea what you went in for? I swear it's like my brain just decides to take a vacation the second I step through those automatic doors. At least when you can't find your car you can walk around the lot until it clicks, but a missing grocery list item just haunts you for the rest of the day.
