That's a great story! In my experience, there is always a good bit of mischief that goes along w/ being associated w/ a GSD - they always have a bunch of what seem like good ideas at the time...

I don't think there's much GS in our Gypsy, except the damn shedding. Most all our dogs were outside dogs, so we weren't used to the hair.
 
Driving through Home Depot parking lot and noticed that an FJ60 sitting there had a full-float rear axle. Mentioned it out loud. After a minute on the road my wife says, “Looks like that has a full-floater too.”
“Naw, that’s a semi-floater,” I says.

Outside most of the day yesterday and dogs spent their time digging. I found my Gypsy chewing on an absolutely huge mole. Thought it was a huge rat at first but while attempting to take it away and dispose of it, it was definitely a mole.

The other two dogs will let stuff go when told to so, most of the time. Apparently the GS Gypsy doesn't agree with the concept. Due to the sheer size of the damn thing I was trying to get it out of her mouth without sticking my fingers in those jaws. It was then I noticed she had the darn thing halfway down her throat. I quit messing with her and she gagged the thing up then took off in yard again with me behind her. Once she stopped she promptly ingested the whole thing after some brief crunchy chewing!

It's been 24 hours and we have been outside all day again and Gypsy is her normal self. I can't stress the size of this thing. Still hoping she does ok.
 
Moles....When our Gypsy was young I used to keep a five gallon bucket with lid because she'd bring home six or more a day for me to stomp on. She never ate one and kept them alive for me to dispatch. It got to a point of what to do with all the bodies. She cleaned out the whole area for years. I only had one dog that wouldn't let me pull food out of his mouth. He was a " show up " Malamute that had a 12 gauge slug through his lung. We had him patched up and he stayed on, but you didn't touch his food. We came to an agreement that lasted for over ten years, his name was bullet. :)

Ha! Even worse.......

I had one of my shop doors partially open a few weeks ago and drove the tractor in (in a hurry, starting to rain, not thinking, etc.). Heard a loud bang and saw that the ROP had hit the bottom of the door. Thank God it wasn't any lower or that would have been a total mess. It bent the bottom channel an inch or two but I was able to push it back out with the tractor. I'm guessing it caught the door by a fraction of an inch.

Edit: These are 12 x 14 commercial roll-up doors. When we bought the place they had them wired without the stop function (so all the way up or all the way down). Not sure why; maybe they only had 3 conductor wire and you need 4 conductor for the stop function. Me, in my infinite wisdom, rewired them so that the stop function works shortly before the tractor incident. Guess that was a relatively cheap lesson as the door is still fine; but that could have been so bad if the door had been any lower.

Same scenario, our bay doors at work now have HUGE signs saying “open all the way” forklift masts make an expensive mess of those commercial doors.
 
Some is us know a guy who tried to scrape his rack and rooftop tent off the top of his 55 in Lander WY while returning from a Pig Party.
 
The cement plant where I work just went into an outage, with some major projects underway. One of the biggest jobs will require a big crane to do some really heavy lifting.
Here’s what showed up -

It’s a Liebherr, not sure of the model or tonnage designation, but it’s gotta be the most massive hydraulic truck crane I’ve seen in person.

***770 ton***😳
