There is a building behind my place that was full of junk from the previous renters. My landlord and I are converting it into a Motorcycle shop for me. We pour concrete Friday if all goes well.

I can't wait to have a place to work on bikes. Roy

I started out this morning by ordering a load of gravel. My neighbor hauled it and he was there in 15 minutes. He had just left the gravel pit and was hauling some where else so just brought me that load. 26 tons.

I went to get the tractor and was within 200 feet of my road and was held up by the county road department. They were grading the shoulders down level with the road because the water was standing during rain.

I told the guy if he needed a place to dump the dirt(top soil) to just dump it im my yard. He had them dump a tri axle and a half of top soil in my yard. I spread it where the previous renters parked and ruined the front yard. That's about $500.00 worth of dirt.

Then my neighbor came over and helped my landlord level the gravel in the shop while I operated the tractor.

A very fine day I must saw.
