Yes, thanks Ed for getting this together and thanks too for letting me haul some dirt to the jobsite with one SUPER sweet dump truck! Glad to have been able to meet some of you guys and wish I would have had time to stay and personally meet each person there. Maybe next time, sure was a good crowd and lots of dirt getting hauled. I saw camera's in action so I'm sure there will be some pics.

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???

As everyone else has said already, this weekend was a blast. It was our first show to go to and Aerielle and I had a blast. I had a great time running the truck breaking driveshafts fixing it and hauling lots of dirt. Thanks again to nathan for letting me pull around his brand new belly dump and getting it dirty.

Ed was a great host and a great guy to set all this up and get us a great place to"work" this weekend. My hat goes off to him for pulling this whole thing together.

As for pics, I have a ton of very dirty pics on my computer right now from this weekends show, and when they are all loaded I will start picking some out of drivers and their trucks. Aerielle did a great job trying to capture everyone with their rigs but I know there are a few that got missed. Sorry fellas.

Thanks again Ed and can't wait to do it again next year!!!

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???

Good to hear your back Steve and it was great seeing the trucks run. That dump sure had the power and speed behind it to haul across the street saturday night. Loved seeing the loader work for what little time I got to see it.

Hope to have the pics loaded for everyone later today so all the others who didn't go can drool over the great time we had. :D

How come those Vario hoes have their body off as much as they are on? Not starting trouble, really asking is there something wrong with those things?

Man, there is a lot of photos of those hoes on this board with their body off, either they use a lot of batteries or they get caught with their pants down every time.

There's about half the pics from this weekend. I wish I would have gotten some video but I was having too much fun running around with the truck and tractor that I didn't take time to mess with it.

Here is the last shot for the evening of the whole setup.

Hope you guys enjoy some of the shots from this weekend.

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???

Wow, that sure was a nice turnout of construction equipment. Sure wish I could have made the drive. I would have had to have a much larger pile of dirt to work off of though. What type of dirt is that? Any rocks screw up the tracks on any of the machines?
By the way is this a legal load?:rolleyes:
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...2/DSC00028.jpg
Are there any pictures of Joe's D9 working or Steve's 990?

It was a blast even without a dump trailer. I drove my orange globe around and was able to talk to a lot of the guys and i learned a few things this weekend. Got to see builds up close and ask questions. Had a great time!

Re: St. Louis Event Ideas???

What a freakin fantastic weekend event! Thanx a tonne for all your efforts to cater to our needs/wants Ed, you really went far beyond that of a great host! :cool:

The dump trks & belly dumps were many! I was loading constantly one right after the other for hours.. what a freakin Blast to run my track hoe that hard & it worked perfectly all weekend! :cool:

Ed took Nate & I on a tour of downtown St Louis Saturday night, what a spectacular view of the Golden Gate Arch at night! :cool:

And then the next day Ed gave Nate & I a tour of his home workshop too, showing us his latest inprogress creations. I was marvelling some of his small specialty tools, quizing him on where to shop & the next thing I know he's stuffing my arms full with goodies.. I told him I couldn't take such advantage of his generosity & put everything back on his workbench.. so then he picks up the pile & passes it to Nate & told him to haul it out to the trk for me! :eek: WOW!!! Super Kool of you Ed. Thank you! :cool: I'll for sure make good use of those nut drivers & allen drivers, and the jack stands too. ;)

Here's the few pics I got, taken with my go pro (not very good pics) while the rest of the gang was on their 5th or 6th lunch break for the day. :rolleyes:

I made it home last night, battled some brutal rain/lightning storms & dense fog along the way, then snow drifts just before reaching the border. It was 70F at Nate's house when I left early Monday morning and 23F when I arrived at home. BRRRrrr! I brought the flu home with me too. :( I got the Lil Giants fleet unloaded along with some new arrivals too. :D Do I ever have a lot of mechanicing to do this winter! :eek:

A special word of thanks to you Nathan & your wife for opening up your home to me for the week before the show, I came to your door virtually as a stranger and you gave me a place to chill for the week before the show. Thank you, it is whole heartly appreciated! I hope I can return the favor to you someday. :)

One other thing I'd like to mention is Thank You to the wives & girlfriends that came along to the meet, they did a great job cooking up dinner Saturday afternoon & took most of the pics while us guys were hard at play! Thanx ladies, duely noted & much appreciated! :cool:

HAHA i had fun going full speed through the dirt hills... Also used my super low front bumper as a dozer at a few points to push some dirt around where PFB was digging. :)
