I ended up being the guy that filled the water trucks.  They
would water the roadbed while it was being packed.  I had to
start the pump that filled the trucks.  It had an electric
starter.  The drivers handled the hoses.  I also had to make a
mark on the clip board for each water load.  The water was
coming out of a stocked catfish lake.  I sat in my lawn chair
and fished all day.  Wonderful job.  Does anyone have a job like
this for an old retiree?  I will take it.
