    You should talk to the crews thst work on the roads and when they tear up a road to redo it, you can get the truck loads of stone and chipped up asphalt and put down on your road to stiffen it up 😊 that pa2a stone is really great for driveways when it rains it gets compacted like concrete

    Man, the irony of seeing you log those logs while in the background seeing two loaders and a digger is hard to watch. Your work ethic is amazing! It pains me to see you have the equipment but not enough of it running to make your life a little easier :) When those monsters come to life you'd be getting so much more work done! Keep on, keeping on Wizard :)

I guess I loved Utah, most, but you are easy on the eyes and intelligent, too. And I love engines. Visit any time.

    Hi Alan! I love how you name off about 40 things you need to do on the 2 machines and then say “I’ve got a little work to do.”
    Watch out for that sagebrush, that stuff burns really, really hot. Stay safe Wizard.

    I really wish that the Wizard could cast a spell to remove all the dead vehicles and machinery and turn them into one or two good machines ,that you can use and get the fortress finished ,time is valuable,you also need to be able to enjoy it ,wishing you well

    WIZARD you're amazing with all your "BIG BOY TOYS" and having the knowledge of how they work and knowing their maintenance needed and finding all the parts you need to get them running - as good as new. You're a WIZARD with multiple skills and a creative human being and a "work-a-holic" always working, working, working and enjoying what you do best. That's going to take you forever moving those block of wood - you need a "go-to-trolly" to cart that stuff, maybe you can make one LOL!!! I see you've made a wall out of your "builders blocks" looking nice and tidy - well done WIZARD - time to rest your body - nah spoke too soon - that "generator" don't want to move it's stuck to the ground - you a hardcase character but always trying to solve a problem - with your mean machines - looks like it's got flat tyres LOL!!!

    I've had fun with one of those cutoff switch arrangements on a Cummins powered Kenworth semi I used to drive. I was coming down a long hill into a town when through fatigue I guess, the wire decided to break off. I only realised I had a problem when I went to shift down another gear and no revs because it had cut fuel. An interesting situation as I'm having to slow down for the town, swing around a fairly tight approaching bend too, all with no engine braking and knowing there's no engine running so no compressor to refill the air if I use too much on and off braking so tried to judge a brake pressure that could remain constant, preferably till I could pull over somewhere out of the traffic, also with no power steering. That blasted wire was the problem and I was very lucky to spot it almost straight away one I swung the cab over. I just stripped a bit of insulation, wrapped it around the thread clockwise then did the nut back up on it and it never got any more attention after that.
    The luckiest thing was I'd dropped my load grossing 45 tons about 400 kilometers ago and was returning empty so that was bloody lucky for me. I'm not sure how I'd have done if it had happened the other way around. I know it's brakes almost certainly would have gone and hauling it around that bend would have been, , , interesting lol.
