Funny relevant story,
We were sitting outside at the fire, just digging the nothingness in the night sky. My arm drops off the chair and my hand instinctively starts petting the dog, he pushed against my hand where he wanted a scratch.
It was precisely at that moment that it occurred to me that I don’t have a dog.
I jumped up, almost crapping my pants, ready for action, shining my light to watch a fat possum ambling away.
That summer it lived underneath our porch. It was fond of grapes and banana.

That's a great story! Could have been worse: just think a skunk or porcupine!

Well I lied... and my wife is not happy I now have two boats. If anyone wants a small fishing boat that will bull a kneeboard or small tube (50hp) I'll make you a deal.

Got a pretty dang good deal on this old Stars and Stripes with the lift. Needs a little carb work. He claimed it sat for two years, sticker says 6. I had it running decent and played with it over the week, but left it at the marina for them to dial it in for me. They have a reasonable hourly rate up by us. I need to either find the missing rear bench or build one.

We've been talking about this for several years, and was part of the reason I bought the bulldozer. She was still a bit mad, but admitted it was needed and that it is looking good.

After: Still some final grading to do and other items, but the storms moved in.

Wow you are throwing some cash at it now aren't you

how many tons did you order to get to this point?

RBB
Roughly 120 ton ish. I'll get it packed in, and see how it settles and probably bring in more next year. Local place 3.8 miles away advertised $20/ton and they put me on an hourly quote since I was so close. With the dozer I had each dump spread before he made it back. He dropped the first load at 12:45 and the last load at 3:45.

It's roughly 75x75 without the long pull on the driveway. It varies from a couple inches deep close to the barn, to 18"+ in a few spots where I filled it in to level more.

I also need to build a big parking pad up by the house, but I think that will need 2x3 or 3x3 brought in first to fill the area.
