I know absolutely nothing about it but I’ve always wanted to learn how to work on heavy equipment. It felt good to do some actual work in the sun, covered in dirt. I got to comfortable on that long term job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carried 43 60lbs bags of concrete yesterday.. (used to do 2 60lbs at a time when he did this work more). But it held up great. I saw this old timer mason yesterday, the only one who'd remember if he still does. He's about 90, everyone said he was the strongest man In town even to this day, but he says my grandfather was. And I wanted to ask him about some of the job site feats he used to see him do. But when I circled back around to his house he was gone... Hopefully I catch him outside again soon.
