Howdy all ,

just wondering how busy everyone is ? Things in this part of the world have slowed since snow has fallen and frost has , for the most part , completely shut down my job ( road building ) . So you all still going strong ?

Not here, I have about90 yards of horse manure to remove from a fellas feead lot for free, I sell the manure though. But its raining like all get out now. I have a retaining wall to build at the lake but they let the water bak up so now i cant get closeenough with the mini excavator.
I hope my landfill job comes back they transfered plants and owners and have a boss thats being bull headed about the EPA.
I may buy a load of D2 steel and rebush my backhoe and a few other things till dry weather gets here. Im saving up to buy a dozer or a mini excavator so I wont have to rent one anymore. I made my last truck payment this morning lol. Time to do it again lol.
I may work on my welding truck tonight finish with the brakes and do some morework on the welder mounts. Im doing alot of welding around the lake houses here along with backhoe work.
