First dump, perfect.
Second dump, I found the septic tank they had been looking for.
I should have charged a finder's fee.
Thankfully the truck wasn't damaged.

Some days are great, some are okay, and some...
Well, just say that's the cost of being the boss.
Still loving it though.

We're not working on the house. We built the pad and are working on the one next to it. I just thought this was a cool shot.
That's my son Pokie G. Horton on the backhoe. He's pretty good. Between the two of us we make a pretty good team.

What you see vs what you don't see.
One of these days I'm going to get a service truck.

Two nights and a day of rain and this ground is still dry when you break the crust. Dang

A lot of contractor pages won't show their breakdowns, but I don't care. If it happens, it happens.
I am in the process of clearing a right of way for a ginormous goat pen through a briar infested jungle.
Things were going well until today, when my steering decided to take a dive.
My front wheels went pigeon toed while I was pushing a pile of brush, over a pile of brush.
Being my daddy's son, I used the front bucket to lift the wheels off the ground, straightened the tires by hand, and backed up until they did it again. I had to do it one more time before I got back into the ROW.
Then I had to walk about a half mile to my truck and drive it over the goat trail so I could work on the backhoe. Then had to go to town to get the parts I needed. Thankfully it wasn't 12 yet, after all, this is Coffeeville.
Side comment: You can't really tell it from the last picture, but my truck is sitting at every bit of 45 degrees crossing this spot. Doesn't bother me in a truck, but my butt was puckered the whole time I was clearing it with the backhoe, because I was pushing the brush down a steep bank on the left side.

It took nearly three hours to dig out this stump.
The ground was so hard it took three to four passes to get one bucket of dirt.
The hole is about four feet deep and it was dusty all the way down.

Backhoe all day long. Building a house pad and moving brush.
My back hurts, my butt hurts, and ah'm t**d Boss.
But it's a good kind of tired.
