Yeah, I hated missing a day, but my teddy bear was just to sick to leave him home alone, plus I'd lost my blanky :laugh: Atleast I had some equipment to run, no matter the size ;) :laugh:

I hate BC walkbehinds!!

[Gravel Rat]

I wish I had a mini that small like that Yanmar it would have saved my back digging peoples basements deeper by hand easier. One place went from a crawlspace to a half basement :dizzy:

Sounds like you shoulda priced it to get a mini that small in there, every big name rental place has atleast a couple of those...

[Gravel Rat]

The problem is convincing people its cheaper to have a machine do the job is tough. Homeowners can be stupid you could spend hours digging by hand and it would have been cheaper to hire a machine.

There are places where you have to hand dig but I don't do that anymore my back can't take that slave labouring.

Yeah, I know all about that, Dad's just like a homeowner and he thinks I just like running equipment, which I do, but they do save time and pain.

I cant take being ditch bitc# either, but yet I always am :wall I need to go work for KSSS :rolleyes: :laugh:

[Gravel Rat]

I have told homeowners to go stuff it when they ask can you dig this out for us all done by hand. There was one homeowner (passed away now) that wanted some post holes dug. I tried them by hand no way the ground was full of roots and hard as concrete. There was a contractor working down the street with a mini I told the homeowner to get the machine to dig the holes. No no can't do that too expensive :rolleyes:

I said I'am not digging them by hand. I think the homeowner ended up digging them by hand to what save 40-50 dollars. Lots of access to get the machine into walk up the street dig the holes in 30 mins and leave.

No more of that hand digging I spent too many hours with back pain some days I couldn't work for a week.

Why do you let a ho tell you how to do a job. They tell you their objective and you give them a price.

I am not so sure thats correct Site (the not much worse than me part), After spending my time in Huntsville, I was told that I was by far the best looking guy that this particular female (Huntsville native) had seen in Huntsville. :laugh: 'Course I paid her good money to say nice things.

That 29#'r yielded surf and turf for 13 of us with meat to spare.
It took an hour and 5 minutes to cook. I had to get the cordless sawzall to cut the claws apart. You would think the old bugger was tough but he was tasty like a chick.

[normower]

[1993lx172]

He caught it.

Waaaaaaaay off topic, but I just saw you're from Franklin, TN. I happened to see a house for sale in Franklin today on a realtor ad for $38 million. Just wondering if you know who owns it?

That may be McNair's house he was selling but around here there are a lot of properties that go for around that. In Williamson county land can be very expensive.

[Dirtman2007]

That dude is livin' right. He has a helluva houseboat too I hear...

haha, yeah tell me about it, hey I hard the monthly payment was gonna be 150,000 a month... wadda you say? bring the U haul LOL!

[KCfireman]

It's Alan Jackson's house.

[1993lx172]

Brad Paisely used to have a house in the subdivision next to the one I live in, he solid it about three years ago.

I was in Franklin picking up a couple loaders yesterday morning. He is right...LOTS of huge houses on large properties there. Beautiful town...Nice down town area and a lot of cival war history there. We have a store hidden behind Captain D's.

On 8th or 9th street right? That's the dealer I go to. They about know me on sight by now. If I'm calling about parts or a problem all I just have to say what model my mower is and they recognize me. They have been extremely helpful all these years. I was offered some nice deals on mowers that hurt me physically to turn down.

And I think it is more behind that used car dealer than the Captian D's

Egads, man. Put the running shoes away for a little while and siddle on over to the pizza buffet. Excavating contractors are supposed to be nearly as wide as they are tall...that's why the doors on the big stuff are soooo large.

You sit that narrow frame of yours in some construction equipment and two things are going to happen:

One, your butt bones are gonna hurt all the time. That ain't good.
Two, your going to be wearing out the vinyl seat covers faster from the narrow bones slicing the seat covers up. Better add $.10/operating hour for the increased cost.:usflag:

Ahh seriously, you are probably a runner or just have a very high metabolic resting rate. Keep it as long as you can, somewhere in life it will catch up to you. Just a little fun. Welcome to the forum.

[93turbo]

No offense CAT 320 but eat a cheeseburger please!

hey 93turbo thats a big buggy, how much does she hold?

That one holds 750 bushel but the farmer I was helping just got rid of it and the tractor and picked up a versatile 300 and a 1150 bushel cart and for those who don't know bushels 1000 bushel is a semi load in a grain hopper. Of course how many bushel you actually got is a guessing game and the loads range between 45k and 65k pounds depending on how close to finishing a field we are LOL.

[Gravel Rat]

I don't think I was ever as skinny as 320 is.

Lets put it this way he doesn't fit into the " Average sized American " :laugh:

Ohwell enjoy it now you will end up with a dick do as you get older :cry:

Screw you Deere for trying to copy Takeuchi.

[tallrick]

The blue and white gloves hide the middle finger. Well I never figured out the whole wearing gloves in a skid steer concept, that seems silly in itself. As for escaping trouble, that's why the rear window comes out. Unfortunately I have a friend who has a nursery and a Bobcat S220. Too bad he is too "big" to get out the back window!

Now for the wife part I cannot argue with that one as I live alone in a house full of books and machinery. My hands are rough, rusty and often holding grease and dirt under my fingernails. Unfortunately, gloves make my hands sweat like crazy and give me a rash.

I hate wearing gloves.. :wall

[Gravel Rat]

You guys in the USA may not find them but this is what I wear.

These ones in the summer

www.watsongloves.com/item-959-300-Blue_Collar.htm

These in the winter or most of the time in the summer.

www.watsongloves.com/item-948-300I-Tough_Guy.htm

These Tough Guy gloves are great because you don't loose your range of motion with your hands. They are tough I use them for doing demo clean up etc they don't get snagged if something slips out of your hands.

I also use these they work good but they are not as good as the Tough Guy

[coopers]

All those gloves are found in the U.S. and commonly sold throughout.

[nedly05]

Yup, I have both types!

[Junior M]

arent those the same type of gloves that twitchy is wearing?

And I never wear gloves unless were doing tree work without a skidsteer..

I hate gloves, I gotta wear them at the FD and it takes me twice as long to do anything, I just cant feel or move in them. I am currently looking for a waterproof pair that fit tight like a Mechanix glove that I can wear at the competitions our FD is in.

All those gloves are great and sold in Home Depots, but i buy similar ones from the bootleg chinese guy that drives around. There cheaper and ligher so you don't sweat.

Their a combo Fire/Extrication glove all in one. Their awesome. Very easy to work in. Very flexible and you can fight fire with them or smash some cars up with them!:weightlifter:

That is either an enormous chainsaw or there's 6 more of you and Snow White just out of frame.

[Bleed Green]

Heck I wear gloves all the time when I am working just to be able to grip things better, plus I think that it helps with stopping blisters and keeps your hands from getting as tore up. I like the gloves that I just got, they are made by a company called Ansell. I found them at Menards.

The saw is not that big it is only an 18in bar
I am only 16 if that helps

Good eye!, My good friend and his girl and us two went to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg for an extended 5 day weekend vacation. Actually it was the only vacation I went on at all this year.

The next day we took a hike up to the tallest falls in the area. The guide said it was only a 4.5mi hike which we thought wouldnt take long at all, boy were we wrong, it took like over 6hrs round trip, and with 30min to go on our way back we got hit with the mother of all downpours, all four of us had to strip down to our undies in the truck b/c we were soaked.

That looks like Laurel Falls, was it paved at the beginning? I hiked Mt. Leconte and it poured the whole time we hiked down it, I feel your pain.

[ProTouch Groundscapes]

yea it was laurel falls. i was trying to think of the name but couldnt. we had just gotten in that day and wanted to go out, which is why we picked that one b/c it said it was paved and i only had my flip flops on.

Rebuilding a trailer after new year. Get a boxblade and modify it. Looking at a Landscape Rake as well got a few ideas on that.

Just starting out. Probably landscaping at first and see where that goes.

Have a Happy New Year.

Well i know he is to shy to, so i figured i would be a nice guy and show everyone the Gravel Rat Family.

First is the Infamous Gr himself.
Next we have the Father of the Legend , followed by the Mother, and last but not least GR 's dog that unfortunetly passed away last week , due to the extreme shortage of dog food in Bc, the horrible weather, his owners rambling and crying, lack of work for dogs, being treated unfairly by the Bc government, fear of the new hst tax, and the fact that the olympics are now over which will cause BC to seperate and fall into the Ocean.

No sir, his first name is Chip...

[Junior M]

Junior, that was taken several years back also.....
I was asking because Dad, Mom and Dads friend that owned a million dollar plus concrete company attended the show in the late 90s. Just curious if you were there at the sametime.

[PerfectEarth]

Bearded......Winter pic.

But still bearded, just bleached a bit. and tan

[Blue Goose]

Junior, that was the biggest convention I've ever been to. I don't remember exactly, but I think there was like 1.5 million sq. ft. under roof and the displays go outside clear around the building. There was anything and everything that pertained to concrete construction there.

[MattnSTL]

I guess I will join in on the fun. Some recently taken pics.

[Blue Goose]

OK Thomas, I'm going to assume your question was serious.....No, as far as I know, nobody there is referred to as "The Don". Do you have a last name of this person that you might think is "The Don"? How often do you get to this side of the river and are you familiar with some of the heavy highway contractors here?
