    I almost cried watching you two at work. 58 years ago I was doing the same thing. At twelve my daughter enjoyed making a ditch straight and even faster then many operators, then over night it was art and cloths and I lost my cheap operator to her teenage years.

    Love the rain this time of year. Guess you are getting the rain that I have been fighting for the last week and a half, here in central Ky. And they are predicting rain for the next 10 days here. I have a building pad and parking lot that I need to finish, but I guess I am going to be on vacation for a while, lol. I have 3 foot of clay to dig and pack down on a 90x140 pad. We had to undercut the pad around 3 foot due to the lack of hard pack. It has been a battle for sure.

    100% Todd, my youngest is 10 but I still use baby wipes all the time. Wiping surfaces down, cleaning up after a job before I drive, I even use them to run caulk by wrapping one over my finger and smoothing out the bead. Nice video!

    Not only you are so good at land works but now you also are incredibly good at the cinematographic art. I appreciate a lot the drone turning around white you are digging, really wonder what is the drone used. And also the view in the bobcat (maybe over an helmet over your head ?).
    Well I must say that you are doing is soo nice and good.
