I've been working up north. That's just a mile or two shy of the Red River. I haven't seen any of that white stuff ya'll are showing in pictures.
Yesterday it was in the high sixties and low seventies with occasional sprinkles. But with my skid loader I skimmed up about seventy yards of dirt full of bamboo roots. I loaded these onto a dump truck with my bud's backhoe, Cat 416B. Then using the skid loader I skimmed up six inches of top soil with dormant bermuda and it was loaded onto the dump truck to replace the tierra firma lost removing the bamboo roots.
It wasn't a full day. And it was hard. I mean it's a bugger bear using a nontooth'd front bucket to only dig out six inches, either in bermuda or bamboo. You have to really concentrate on the angle of that bucket. Too much too fast and you've got a hole and too little too late and you're filling up that bucket with lots of nothing.
I even worked up a sweat. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I know some of you have real jobs. You don't get to operate a skid loader, a backhoe, and drive a dump truck and get paid for it.
Oh, and I did all this because we're clearing a right of way for a fence I'm installing.
BTW I have a thing about real jobs. Everyone I know who has one hates it. Why would I want one?
