::thumbs up:: Very cool! Got it bookmarked.

Art- what in the heck are you making?? The Close Encounters mountain?? :lol:

Nah, just turning my backyard into a lawn. I already cut all the brush and most of the trees that we want gone. This order is just to fill in a few spots in the front lawn, and to build up around the dog pens to make them on more level ground. I'll take a pic of it after they deliver, and then another after I've put it where it needs to go.

Good morning Dave. :) It'll take some getting used to. :lol:

Good morning Joe! Have a great day brother.

Art - the amazing thing is how 12-18 yds of fill doesn't look like much when they dump it out of the truck.

My dad owned and operated a trucking company for groundcover (bark, mulch and dirt) for 15 years. One yard is equivalent to one bucket of your average front end loader. (Really depends on the size of the loader, but "average" would be about right)

12 - 18 yards should spread to be a pretty good bit.

I survived test #3 last night and got a 91%.

Was pretty dicey the first time I attempted it. My mind was in the stratosphere and I only got 41 % on the first attempt. (We can retake it as many times as possible in the allotted hour.

Only twelve questions, so, with enough screwups and restarts, you can get through it about three times if necessary. Each time they change up the questions, though.

The first time when I got the awesome 41 I unknowingly said, out loud mind you, "Don't panic!" The people around me darted nervous glances my way. I shut up after that.

Sooooo, if I can get 85% or better on the final, I can earn the first A in my entire academic mathematical career! Here's hopin'!

It'll spread out to be a lot, no doubt. It's just always amazed that it looks to be sooooo much in the truck,
but then the pile on the ground when they dump it looks like much less. Our loader has a 4yd bucket btw. :D

Coffee in it?
:lol:

4 years worth of cookie crumbs, bacon fat, and humidity. (didn't always have A/C in my office)

Fixed. And thanks for the visual of you getting all sweaty in your office with no AC.





Good morning everyone. :grouphug:

Dave (w)- Good morning!

Charlie- What's up brother? Sucks that you had to get a keyboard this morning. By that, I mean sucks for us. ;) :lol:

Andrew- Congrats on the 91 last night! I have no doubts that you'll easily get at least an 85 on the final.
