Driving a bucket loader is not as hard as you would think. Actually it is pretty fun. Although I am no expert on the subject, I now can say that I have some experience. We took a tree down today and started clearing some space for more parking in what was an old horse corral area. Needless to say, we had to use the front end loader and I decided that today was as good a day as any to learn, so Bob showed me what to do and told me to just do it. And yeah – cool stuff. I also got to bust out some of the past knowledge and use the old chainsaw and woodsplitter. It was flannel shirt and hat today kids… back to my woodsman roots. I took a picture of me using the woodsplitter for you Dad. That brought back many memories.
