Fxjr leaves for tech school Sunday. He's going to get his certification to operate and service Cats, backhoes, bulldozers, and other heavy equipment. Coming soon to a construction (DEstruction?) site near you...

Good luck to FXJR.

It takes some big, expensive tools to work on that big stuff.

Thanks Ed. I'm really excited for him. He's already got a job offer waiting for him when he finishes(!). His certification is going to be in operation and pm's, not in overhaul, so he'll be working on job sites rather than in the garages. Operating one of those big suckers is serious business.

Nothing like knee and deep in ditch/ swamp mud working on a D6 High track you just broke your self.
