I have been out, and will be out for the next while.
PM me if you need anything as I still check that, I just don't read posts.
I am busy with Community College, I am in a Heavy Equipment Operators course, and its like 10 hours a day. Add in time with the girl and there is almost not enough time for sleep.
(I think these are in order)

he reminds me of claymation wearing all that stuff for some reason........
They make you run those POS's??? poor canucks, Tell them to get some CATS!. ;)
What the hell kind of machine is that in the first pic. Looks like a Dune buggy converted into an excavator. Have never seen anything like it. I worked for an excavating company for a while, I loved the job. Running machines is great. I hated laboring in the rain though.
P.S. Hi Jason. :)

Haha Hi Brian!
They have a couple different brands, kinda trying to show the differences in the machines. We all know Cats are the best anyways. The bulldozer, payloader and one of the exca..two of the excavators are Cat.
I know all about the busting your ass off in the rain, so now I am the one in the big comfy seat behind glass with A/C and a heater =)
Oh yeah that thing is a Harvester. Trees. Grabs, has a hydraulic chainsaw which cuts at ground level, then it rolls the tree through two rollers delimbing it and cutting it every 8 feet.
That was going to be my guess! Lol. I thought it had something to do with trees. It looks like something out of MADMAX.

This one was cause it was snowing, and we have a bunch of WILD woods (dirt) roads that had a light dusting of snow. RALLY!
This picture was taken while I was doing some crazy drift action (notice the countersteer).
Lets give a big hand to our very own Ben! (farsDarkAngel2k2LCD)

Heavy Equipment Operator.
I have my evaluation tomorrow, but I overheard my instructor talking and from what I heard I am not worried.
After tomorrow I have Xmas break and then back in the classroom for 3 weeks (finish up safety and theory) and a final exam (ugh not looking forward to THAT) which is about 5 hours.
Then graduation.
