    Grew up on a farm. Folks bought 40 acres we converted from timber to crop. Cut down trees. Dynamited stumps. Burned brush and roots. Picked up roots and sticks, put on hayrack. Burned brush and roots. Bulldozed. Burned brush and roots. Plowed land. Picked up brush and roots, burned. Surveyed land. Terraced land w/ bulldozer. Worked like dogs all summer. Called it the "Brush 40." Next year farmed the timber soil. Good crop only when you fert the dickens out of it. ENJOYED WATCHING YOU DO THIS WORK WITH MACHINERY, MIKE!! GREAT JOB.

    Hey Mike good to hear about your work history-- "a young lad out there slaving away for his family building his empire, and making the country great". No wonder why your so happy to be at home every night after your " light duty job". You are an inspiration to many , all with the great support team you have at home, you are truely blessed. Just goes to prove to people what a person can do with all the talents that God has given him. And "What a Great Country we live in".

Think he's going to be more of a firewood type of guy than a gravel guy! LOL My niece would NOT walk barefooted on grass when she was little and 'till this day does not like to walk on grass barefooted! Crazy, I love to walk on thick nice grass barefooted, feels wonderful. Keep up the good work! #HaveADay!

    I live about 30 minutes from the KY Speedway. I was raised on a farm in Western KY, and I still live on that same farm. I’ve always enjoyed operating any kind of equipment, from lawnmowers to caterpillar bulldozers. It was relaxing and peaceful to me. I liked operating the bulldozers the most. We cleared the land with big cutting blades after the loggers had cleared all the good timber so the paper mill could plant new trees. We worked all over Western KY, Southeastern MO, and Southern IL.

    Pro tip : when I pick up sticks in the yard, I use a grabber with a long handle. You can get them at the box stores. Keeps you from constantly bending over and saves your back. Makes it easy for everyone.

His trailer and Dodge 2500 Diesel paid for themselves without the driving and fuel. The truck really has low miles on it. I know back in the masonry business I slept in the truck with my dad driving to work and on lunch when I was an invincible teen! I'm only about 6 months older than you and feel like I have seen and done a hundred years stuff! lol Have you seen Chris's new bucket with the lets dig logo on it?
