And other pics I have taken over the years.
Feel free to add any you have.
I'll start with some pipeline oops fails.
This is Flint energy a few years ago,the spread boss jumped on the hoe and walked it right into the ditch.
Changing a tire hutterite style!
Thats taken at line creek mine in the elk valley.My first rollover,and last.
Not a fail but HUGE potential for one. Wheres the line?
This guy on the mini hoe just bailed into the ditch,I had a hard time not laughing.
My best bud.I work for him when there's nothing to do in the pipeline,he has a nice fleet of hoes and dozers.
Sabina gold and silver last year,south of Cambridge bay(Goose lake)
The guy that drilled the profile holes on the ice just covered it with snow instead of plugging it and letting it freeze.So water from the lake was just pouring out the hole as we had lots of freight on the ice and it was 90 feet deep there.I was building an ice strip for the hercules c130's.
I kept telling them im sitting in water and they kept saying move over 20 meters,I did and still water,Then I broke through and theres a reason I wear sneakers when working on ice roads,so I can bail as fast as possible!
The tracks froze solid in about 30 seconds,we had to winch it to the quonset with an old d7.
I got the hercs in though.
Line creek in the 80's
Lost creek fireline.
Kananaskis road near the gap.
huge fail.
Rigged out!
2 years ago in Peter Lougheed park.
There is no worse feeling then when the tracks on the excavator start sliding on the ice.I went for a long ways there.Tossed the bucket and stabbed the other bucket into the bank just as it was going over.
My buddy had to buy that machine when he was renting it as the last operator flipped it and got hurt,it has a new cab here.
