That one is pretty fun. It has two "joystick" controls, one runs the tracks, the other runs the loader. The backhoe attachment has it's own pair of joysticks to control it. It takes a while to get it down, but after several thousand feet of 6 ft deep trenching for water lines, just about anyone can be pretty good...

Well, GEE....thank you!!!!!!!! Um, I THINK?

Hey, come on by and I'll let you drive anything I've got! Really!

Got one of these in the arsenal CJ?

Nope! Not sure what I'd need one of those for around the farm...

The biggest things I've got are these:

CJ, I see that you kept your old Tonka Toys!

Who said anything about "need"?


On the other hand is "want"...saddle up!

OK, I guess I should have said, "I don't know what I'd do with one of those..."
After all, the only "landmines" we have around here are the ones the dog leaves in the yard...

I found one of those while mowing the front yard today.

Give it a chance, someone will do a civy version of the MRAP...complete with the mower accessory (although a flail would be kinda cool for "beating" rush hour traffic)

Welcome to spring...
It's snowing sideways right now, winds 38mph gusting to 52...

Which is calm compared to earlier today when we had sustained winds of 54mph, gusting to 85...

Lost one "wind break" wall out by the animal pens (huh, wind break is exactly what happened) and some metal off of one of the barn roofs...

Sorry to hear this. Maybe you should send that nice new special 4003 someplace safe for a while, say, my house.

That would be like putting the mice in charge of the cheese, I'm guessing ...

Dumping snow today. Here it is, May 7, and snow is just coming down like mad, 1/4 inch in the last 15 minutes...

I'm beginning to think winter is never gonna end this year...

Well, all the snow and wind from the other day is gone and it almost feels like spring today. The cottonwoods are just barely starting to think about getting leaves: Of course, all this excitement, watching the leaves grow is enough to wear a guy out...

I hope it stays spring this time. We have a frost advisory tonight, thankfully no snow.
