[QUOTE="74honker, post: 2214313, member: 113930"] Gotcha. Yes normally winter is usually slower time for me. My situation is very unique. My main job is the day to day operation of the levee district. I have about 13 miles of levee to maintain, keep all the culverts clear in the drainage canals and pump water out as needed. I have 3 pumps. One 456hp 60" 70000g/m, one 250hp 36" 40000g/m, and one 24" that runs about 20000g/m. Roughly about 10k acres in our district but pump runoff off of about 15-18k acres. The 2 big pumps are ran by big electric synchronous motors that also with the pumps were built in the mid 1920s and still going strong. Basically it's my responsibility to keep my district from flooding from the inside or outside. There are times when I don't do much for several months and then there are times when I don't get anytime off for several months. My longest stretch has been 46 days straight pumping never leaving the building. When all caught up on my main duties I help spring and fall with the crops on one of the big farms here and also haul all the grain to the river terminals over the winter. I also help another friend and nieghbor haul and occasionaly operate his heavy equipment. I do get free time but it's pretty tough to plan anything in advance like a vacation or any kind of trip because it doesn't matter what holiday or time of year cause if the crap hits the fan you have to jump now and I'm a lone ranger lol.
