We spent a long week on the job, got a bunch of odds and ends taken care of, then headed home for a nice, carefree, relaxing weekend doing nothing, right?
Insert record scratching noise here.
Well, there wasn’t a whole lot of doing nothing going on. @wash11 blew a seal on their backhoe a couple weeks ago, which landed it in our shop, and one blown ram seal repair somehow morphed into a lot of other work. 🙄
Joel’s brother in law somehow got roped into the mess, so he and I spent a day taking apart the rear of the backhoe in between drinking beers. 😄😄
Here’s our weekend in pictures. 😄😄

The greasy nasty part of the extend-a-hoe.
I’m sure some of you are looking at this picture and thinking “reminds me of my ex. “ 😄😄😬
Had to fire up the steam cleaner to get the nasty off some of the stuff.
Joel came prepared with a rain suit to keep him reasonably clean. I was already covered in oil and grease, so I didn’t suit up. We took turns drinking beer and running the pressure gun and removing grease from the tractor and blasting it on anything within a 20’ radius. 😄😄🙄
