Met older daughter and family for a weekend in Vegas. Wife gave son in
law and me an Excavator experience at digthisvegas.com. Fun weekend.
Expensive stay though. Even excluding any gambling. Stayed at Mandalay
Bay. Specials on room, but no reasonable dining. Even in room coffee
was $5 a cup. Got a lesson in a Cat 315C excavator. Dug a big hole,
moved 2500# tires and picked up a basketball and dropped in a tire. Fun
trip. I have a great wife. Great gifts. No boating.

Cool. I'd like to try that sometime.

He has a couple franchises elsewhere I think.


Yeah. I've driven one of those relatively tiny backhoes you see being
towed behind a pickup truck, and I managed not to kill anyone or destroy
the equipment. Love to try a full-sized ecavator.


Full size is lots different than a Bobcat sided backhoe. For one, the cab
will rotate 360degrees. So no moving the tracks when digging. And do not
have to turn around to go backwards while facing forward. Just rotate the
cab and pull back on the track control instead of pushing forward.


Uh-oh...I definitely would kill someone or destroy the equipment!
