Donny has been chipping away at this mountain of rocks and rubble for a week or two

Was almost twice as big when he started

He’s spreading it around the edges of the back fence line to get some more solid ground where it’s kind of muddy

He drove that truck up there several years ago, said he might try to get it down today

There is still a “drivable” slope if it backs down

Actually gives some nice afternoon shade, which is needed

Got my first pony nubbin tied off

Now I need to shave my head for the summer!

That’s why it’s been a few years since I went long hair

There is also dappled sunlight, I’ve got both babbling and dappling going on at the same time!

Just found this bottle style wire brush on the ground

Going in the camper for sure

Looks like he’s been able to start the truck and move it around

Here he is trying to pick up the bed side that fell off

So when I took the first picture, I didn’t know it was a sideways truck that Donny was working next to

I missed the excitement when he had the dump truck loaded with about 4 or 5 scoops of that stuff and it tipped over on the driver side

Dump bed got tweaked

He used the loader to tip it upright before I noticed it happened

Landed about where the loader is behind the upright truck after towing back to the pavement

Just a yard truck anyway, no brakes

Apparently the loader has a giant magnet stuck to it so other nuts, bolts and tools can stick to IT!
