ONE MAN, FIVE MACHINES
Another Doctor, though of a different type, features a little belatedly in this story. Car Doctor Barry "House Calls" Boyle was working on his mother-in-law's property early this year cleaning up a few piles of logs and some ditches with a 'dozer. While trying to scrape some thorny stuff from the edge of a ditch he slipped a bit and got the 'dozer stuck. Soon after he tied a tractor to the stricken machine, put it in gear and raced back to the bulldozer and drove it out of the hole with the aid of the chugging tractor. Good stuff! Self rescued! Trouble is he tried the trick again and dozed into the ditch a second time, then got the tractor stuck in it too. It finaly took another three tractors to get the bulldozer and its rescuer out of the hole.
