Lost on this one. I guess we had to be there. Message 11312599 It's a reference to my penchant for yard toys -- in this case (pun intended) a 94 SuperK Turbo 4x4 backhoe -- and my enthusiastic incompetence with them. When I was digging a trench to run gas to the house for the central air/furnace (finally!), I cut right through my phone lines and was unable to work for part of that day. Despite mutterings to the contrary, the tear-out of my phone lines really was unintentional. Someone later told me I should've waited for the repairman to arrive and told him "I found the break in your lines and dug a hole around it so you can fix it easier." Bob
