  • I got the chance to work on my own property for once. I cut this pond dam years ago, but it's slowly filled back up.

    I remember when you lost Rip. You was looking everywhere for him. That area is looking so much better and when you use the dozer on it that will make a huge change. Just have to have time to work on the project for yourself right. Always good to see you and the family and enjoyed the video as always.

    Just an observation for your little boy. Around here it is forbidden to make a square canal like that. Children or animals who fall in there have no chance of escape. There is no slope to climb up and out of there. Just to give you an example, I dug a hole 4 feet by 4 feet and 4 feet deep to pour a cement pillar for the gallery and... the next day a skunk fell in and it couldn't no more going up because it was too steep. You have an adorable little boy, please take care.

    MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼……………………………………………………………… Good looking piece of ground. I guess you are kinda like my brother, ace motorcycle mechanic always working on someone’s bike but don’t hardly have time to work on his own bikes. You have all the dirt moving equipment and don’t have time to use it for yourself! Sometimes you just have to make time for yourself…………………and your family and sometimes you can do both at the same time. You keep putting those boys in the cab with you and you will have your own equipment operators! LOL

    You got a good start on your lake. Your right about using the dozer and dressing up the area. It would be nice if you could cut a fire brake around it and burn all the weeds and briers. Then you wouldn't be pushing up all that crap with the dozer. Can't wait to see what you have planned. That was cool when Bear was using the GoPro. I thought I heard him say to watch all your videos. Nice to see him and Bowe out there with you. Be Safe Out There Buddy!

      @@smithworx1091 Bear's just trying to spread the word.😂 I just thought that was cool. Yea burning it might make it easier to work the soil without all those weeds and grass. I always hate having to work dirt with weeds in it. I'm having my surgery on the 11th. It's about time I've got 8 to 12 weeks before I'm able to really do anything but it's going to take about a year for the hardware to fusion to the bones.
