Thanks for the comments guys!

Tom, I am pretty bummed out about NOT making it out to Brownsville. It was going to be the third year for me and the FIRST time I showed up with a descent machine to move some material.

I need to think about a nice scenario for the clamshell video...

Tom,

Here is a bit of real time video of the clam loading some concrete blocks into a hopper barge at the north sea wall. I am going to try and find some material that loads well and shoot another video of loose material. The sand was a bit wet tonight and the clam is real tricky on loose material. I have tossed around the idea of making a new clamshell, making it just a bit narrower and maybe a bigger mouth and taller for more leverage in the close.
