Funny you bring that up. We have been kicking around names. To help with the alphabetics in the phone book/Goggles space, @thatcabledude came up with

ASG (“Aaaaand She Gone!”) demolition

Bought 16 used tires to offload the beast. Protects the concrete road and drive way. Local dude let all 16 tires go for $20!! Win. I looked a construction mats. A 4’x8’ piece is $200. I would need 6!!! Win! Can make some tire sandles for some of my peeps after.

Blew a hydraulic hose while grading the new pad. Heart surgery like but easy. Doing full service while at it (all fluids, filters). Good for another 1000 hours after that!

I received a warning from ILL DOT about tying down our track hoes by hooking into the pads. Was told over the tracks or to the frame. Also one over the boom. I guess it's up to whoever you get at the inspection area.

Initial shipper was a negative nanny that shared all the worlds reasons not to unload. Part of the contract. Did not pay them in full. Had them offload it to a friends yard. Had a practical get ‘er done guy locally to drop it off today. Tires are the ticket. Saves the concrete!

I think I discovered the inspiration for the "before" and "after" expressions:
