How DARE you be such a nice and generous guy! You're making the rest of us look bad!

Impressive rambling @Eugen ( and the dig work was pretty good too)!

I don’t worry about how much my help is worth when it’s for a friend. Real friends are hard to find. I figure it will even out over time.

The truth is, I'm just really jealous that you can dig so much so fast. It would take me a week with a shovel to do all that.

Assuming I didn't have a stroke halfway through.

Bob, this machine surprised me too. All in all it was at most one and a half hours of digging. It has a big bucket, that backhoe. And obviously I'm not a professional, was quite slow. Let me tell you, the guy was very happy.

The blow by oil and smoke are quite bothersome though. More and more I'm thinking I must replace that blown piston.

oh that looks too familiar, muddy trench full of water, doesn't get much better.

Traded work between friends if it kinda evens out is the best. If it becomes a one sided affair, not so much.

Good job, the more you dig, the better you will get at it.

Practice is practice, putting it back in and tuning it up is the fun part. More practice.
