Working in a coal mine can be kind of crazy sometimes. I'm pretty good at what I do but occasionally even I make mistakes. Yesterday I pulled away from the water fillup with my water truck still attached to the fillup. Hoses and water everywhere, but amazingly I didn't break anything, just pulled everything apart and it was easily fixed. But as I was down on the ground contemplating how best to go about that, I looked up to watch two 260 ton trucks collide- 34 started to slide sideways because of the mud, clipping 32's mirror with the back of his box. The damage was mostly cosmetic. Both drivers had special instructors from Fort McMurray with them. Which is kind of funny when you think about it.
