I've been gone from the board for the last week mostly because I had a little project turn into a big project.:gaah:
I decided it was time to get rid on my pool so I rented a jackhammer to break up the concrete around the pool.
That was slow going so then I decided I needed something bigger so I rented a trackhoe and started tearing up the place. Turns out the pool was really well made and it took longer than I thought to rip the sides down so I rented it for another day. I had my 78 year old father-in-law helping me with the project. He ran the tractor most of the time while I ran the trackhoe. This guy will work a teenager into the dirt. nojoke

The first day went great and I got most of it done but I still needed the trackhoe another day so I rented it one more day. I needed to fill the pool with something so I decided to use the trackhoe to run down the fence line we had and rip up all the root balls from the trees. That went well but I still needed more dirt so I decided to dig a pond that I've always wanted to do.

The trackhoe did a great job of compacting the dirt in the pool so I decided to rent it one more day to finish the job.
When I dug the pond I had to take down a couple of trees that were in the way. That was so fun that I decided to take down the whole tree line that was in the middle of my property. I left a few of the bigger trees but took out most of them. That turned out to be so much fun that I went ahead and rented the trackhoe for the week.

So now I have this thing for the week and all the projects I've been wanting to do came to life. I did too many things to list but I can tell you that this was as much fun as riding the Spyder to me. At the end of the day I would jump on the RS or RT and go for a little ride and plan out my next days work. Today I'll be heading for Daytona after getting some work done so I should be there Thursday to hookup with you guys. This thought I would share with you why I've been a little quiet around here for a few days.:doorag:
