> I know one thing. You have already saved yourself a ton of money 

compared to having to hire a contractor to do that work.  Now I'm

starting to understand why Lucille lets you hang around.  grins.

	Yeah, Charlie, she has always looked at the brighter side
of things. grins.

	I have to say one thing, up to the time that big PC-200
excavator was delivered to the site and the driver left, I had only
ever sat in the seat of an excavator one time and that was only for
3 or 4 minutes. I waited until the driver left because the rental
company was apprehensive about anyone running that thing except those
they knew were qualified. I didn't want the driver to see how dumb I
really was and go back and tell them.

	Lucille's SIL and I figured out how to get it started and
moving and then I was on my own. Luckily for me it was not hard to
figure out. I didn't break anything or drop any big rocks on my GMC
dunp truck so I really lucked out. I'd say the first 6 hours of working
with it were a tad slow but after that things went along smoothly.

	I would say I saved a lot of money. I could only find one person
who was willing to bid on cutting the trees, pulling the stumps, burying
all the rocks and piling the stumps out back and then grading the site as
I did. His bid was $30K and I am happy to say I got the job done for a
fraction of that. If they get that kind of money for this work, I oughta
sell some of my tractors and get some of this equipment and go back to
work as a site contractor. grins. Hell, I wouldn't have to own anything.
I could rent it and charge it off to the jobs. ;-)
