Seen it on the internet.

After Monday's record nonsense we had to call in some support.





Child for scale.



When we showed Talia the mounds she went running out of the garage to play. It's -37°C with the windchill.

Told ya, you need a tractor.

Skid steer is useful; maneuverable and strong for their size. But lots more you can do with a 3pt hitch and PTO. PTO accessories tend to be cheaper since most SS ones need to be run with hydraulics.

I am shopping. But, the sticker shock is real.

If I average out my contracting costs over a decade it may be more prudent to let someone else do it. I don't know where we'll be in a decade and being saddled with a piece of old equipment may not be something I want to deal with.

The skid steer made short work of the problem.

Looks like I have a real chance of moving from New Jersey to coastal North Carolina this spring.... fingers crossed; most worried about how the 15 year-old is going to handle it. I need to make the right compromises: 1) more spacious home for my family, 2) a garage for my g-body, and 3) a population density that supports a high school with at least 100 kids/grade and basketball/soccer teams. Neglecting inflation, looking at recent sales in my current area, I am likely above water in my current home. In transferring companies, I'm considering plowing my entire 401k into the home purchase in NC - rather than roll it into an IRA. If I pull this off, my 2 and 4 year old will grow up like I did, playing in the woods, and crabbing/fishing. This will be a move from an authoritarian scale 11 police state to more of a 6 (I figure). This is the general area that I have been focused on for several years: https://www.google.com/maps/@34.1151263,-77.8794853,10.75z There is an opening that I fit at the dual-unit BWR (power reactors) there.
