[SEL] Coolsprings

[Mark Shulaw]

To make a long story short and simple,  the roller got stuck in the deep 
ditch on the way up the hill to the Snow construction site. And with 
something as large and heavy as a roller combined with a deep ditch its not 
a simple chain a tractor to it and drag it out kinda operation. And to make 
matters worse the clutch on the D8 was acting up due to lack of use and 
took some effort by the boys to get it working well enough to 
use.       TTYL,  Mark
