i like that thinking, my sons have been in the construction arena as well, one as a surveyor no less, and what with GIS etc, it'd be a breeze, the only machine i don't have any time on is a belly scraper or dump, plenty of ten yarder and truck and pups experience and front end loaders, dozers, graders, rollers, barber greens (paver) chip seals etc. etc. i got, and i could take my two and half year old grandson and by the end of the third summer would be an excellent cat skinner. shoot there are places out toward the stumps that is already flat as a pancake.
now shall we talk logging too?? prefer stilh to other equipment lol, but that would be another state location or possibly another state :)
i could start the 1st of may, am remodeling a whole house and my time is kinda tight. but could put a huge dent in the desert sands in a weekend thats for sure.
great day to all tomaroooow ah a new day will dawn, and we don't have to do anything to have it happen. kinda like algae, put it in a tube and voila, it'll grow. :):)
