    The D6 is really paying off on this job. Clearing all that small stuff would take forever with the excavator, the D6 just pushes it over and away. I realize that the excavator still has to be used to get what the dozer misses, but that can be done while piling up brush. This lot was cleared right before the Great Recession of '08, when building came to a stop for a while.

    I really enjoy watching Chris do what he does best but I have to remind myself (often) that he's a young equipment operator with amazing skills. I'm guessing that he's about 30 years old and already has a beautiful house and a large farm and some really nice equipment. He's got me beat seven ways to Sunday but, still I worry about his safety. When I was 20 and operating heavy equipment, I thought I was invincible and then one day I wasn't.
