    I love to watch you work and enjoy your commentary while you do it. The boulders were carried by ice during the Ice Age . When the ice melted the boulders were left. Think about building a snowman. You make the snow balls by rolling the snow, as you roll, it picks up trash. When it melts, the trash is left in a heap.

    Nice new machine! That bucket and thumb really did work even on that big pine! You were able to manipulate it such that it fell clean and no damage to the other trees. That thumb is as quick as it is powerful! Seems like some of the smaller machines have a thumb that is slower and probably frustrating.
    It’s good to see you grow, but it looks like more and more you will need to work all week long to take care of the bills!! I am assuming your earning power does take a significant jump doing it on your own vs as an hourly wage earner, even with you probably making a top dollar for all the years you worked for your Uncle’s business. Best of luck no matter how you take care of things,,,,,,, I truly enjoy seeing people succeed!
