Man, It's nice to see you've climbed back out of the woodwork Joe!
Still wish you could have made the trip. I still have a lot of work to do on the boom which I'll get back on soon. I just sandwiched a piece of wood in the point to hold the sheave and make it usable.
We were a big hit there. A guy stopped and told me that the digging PIT was worth his admission to the show. The guy who puts on the show told me that he had many compliments about the construction machines and he's going to supply us with more dirt next year. Also this was a record attendance show of over 5000+ people thru the door.
I know we will have more machines next time with Scott busy with the Units and his hauling fleet. Ed will have his Excavator ready, Steve will have the scraper ready we hope, and I have a couple small builds in the works.
