Construction Worker

I got to run a backhoe today for a few hours. First time I have ever run anything bigger than a tractor. It was scary fun. I wish I had a picture to show you. The purpose of the backhoe was to build a wall using concrete blocks that weighed 2,000 lbs a piece. We stacked about 30 of them and back filled it. I only ran the backhoe for back filling. It took some getting used to, but once I got the hang of it, I started doing more than one thing at once. There are lots of controls. The arm has ten controls alone. (5 functions that move two ways) And of course since I was outside for more than an hour, I got sunburned. :-/
