Here's our newest "baby." It's a Caterpillar 301.5 Mini Excavator. We unintentionally sold the truck upon which it is perched which helped to pay for the new purchase. Of course Brad's making changes to the "Mini" immediately. He is extending the "stick" (which is the part of the boom directly before the bucket) by 2 feet to make it more effective for digging graves and we found a cheap bucket that will make digging go a lot faster. As it is right now, 1 bucket digs about the same amount of dirt as 4 shovels full - but at a slower pace than it takes to empty one shovel. He also changed the controls so that they are more to his liking. It seems to be very easy on the lawn, too. Alton Newgaard - watch out! (just kidding)
Well, I think we've bored you enough. We'll see if we can find something more exciting to write about next time, but who can compare with KT's excursions in Vermont?
Hope you "dig" it as much as we do,
Liz (and Brad)

Funny! Brad is such a gomer :)
Way to join in the blogging; I can think of several people that will enjoy reading/seeing the picture.

Yeah Liz, its about time you join in on the fun!! I lie the whole miniature thing Brad has going on - he should line up all of his huge equipment in tone row and then, since he probably won't have any more room, store his miniature equipment underneath the full sized ones.
Good idea, KT.
