      Hips are easier to get over than knees. Rehab for hips is mostly get up and use it. Progress seems to come in little jumps as today I can't move it that far and now I can. My hip had lumps of arthritis that made sitting like sitting on a golf ball. That's gone now and I'm almost a year out now and wouldn't go back.

    That beaver is probably watching you... back a few videos ago... you started to dig out the channel again and the beaver was right at the edge of the opening in the beaver dam. You could see his head sticking up and when you started working you could see him duck under the water. I'll look and see which video it was and the time when I have a chance. You can see the beavers head on this video... 'A Bigger Volvo 30 Ton Truck Shows Up For This Job!' at 3:18

    I’ve been a big fan for several years, back when you were doing beaver dams and small jobs with your uncle. I’m 69 now and finally had enough work to justify renting an excavator. I’ve never run one before, but wanted to. So, I rented a Bobcat E32 and have been using it for 5 days. I must say that the Bobcat Mini-excavators do not run as smooth as your Volvos do! It has to be the machine, right? Although, it seems to be running smoother than it did on the first day. Chris, what you can do with an excavator is amazing!

  • @alpintourer
    @alpintourer Месяц назад +6

    @letsdig18 Chris: You show such great dexterity with the excavator especially when maneuvering the risers. If you ever want to take up a flying hobby, you'd transition quickly to helicopters. Maybe a Cabri G2 or a Robinson R22 for starters. If nothing else, treat yourself to a introductory lesson. There are some great RUclipsrs out there flying choppers. @CleetusM @PilotYellow @HeavyDSparks are 3 of my favorites.

I'm surprised about how much red clay you were able to find for the core. On a positive note, I'm happy you were able to use it to your advantage and fix the dam the right way. So many people think you can just push some dirt around and call it good but you really have shown that you need the right stuff to do a outstanding job.
