Hammered twice
Last night our luck ran out with the weather. For days we looked at the forecasts and saw rain, but received none. Last night into this morning we got 10 hours worth. No work today except for the guys trying to haul out the sunken excavator, and no luck. All the rain reduced the chances of recovery because the machines lack grip when the ground is saturated. The machine still sits in the lake like a Yellow Submarine having run aground; its arm sticking out of the water clinging for dear life.
