Big boys and their toys....

What red-blooded male kid wouldn't love having one of these toys to play with? I hasten to add that I've seen gals around here having a ball running one of these things too.  A couple of years ago on the next block, a long-haired and shapely gal used one of these doing the smaller jobs at a new home project, where she also ran a full-sized backhoe while digging the basement. She could practically make that thing dance.  I'd never seen a backhoe being used quite that fast before. So it's not just a toy for the guys.  The gals enjoy it too.

Here it is in action, working on the landscaping across the street in the project there, where they tore down a pool-house and filled in a nice big swimming pool a couple of years ago, and then left it covered with only raw gravel afterward. Now, they're finally finishing it off with some more earthwork, and new topsoil. Better late than never.
