Today, I worked with Jerry cleaning up all of the junk in the backyard to get it ready for the dump truck. Once we were done moving all of the wood and trash around…I went and picked up my Mark Richards surfboard from one of the local ding repair guys and went for a surf in little waist high, but clean surf. When I got back to the house, Jerry and the guys had already spread all of the topsoil around the front yard, dumped all of the trash in the truck and were pretty much waiting on me. I was only gone for two hours!
The guy that sold us the topsoil used a Bobcat to push all of the dirt around and pick up our trash. He said if we wanted to use it for anything, he would leave it with us for the rest of the day. Of course we could use it! So, for the next three hours I powered around the yard in a Bobcat clearing weeds, moving dirt and getting ready for our big planting day tomorrow. I think we need a few Bobcats for miscellaneous stuff around the yard…maybe 3 or 4. 
Nice! Bobcats are great tools and fun for about 3 hours. Last thing I want to be when I grow up is a heavy equipment operator or truck driver.
You are SO stoked. You’ve wanted to play with one of those things for a while now ;)…Hopefully when we are done with the house and landscaping, we won’t NEED a bobcat!
Bobcats are awesome! My dad has always dreamed of owning one. I remember when I was a teenager we were on a family road trip and passed a bobcat dealer my dad pulled over to have his picture taken on the bobcat. Something about bobcats and backhoes that make you feel like a kid again.
