Jeez, I can smell that grass from here. Do you enjoy yourself doing that fulltime? I don't just want to sit here and say it's all fun, I know that is hardwork, especially when your dealing with a pesky customer. That would be the life to me though. Just being stress free of all the state bullcrap we have to deal with. When you work for the state you constantly have to be on your heels, they could cut the plug at anytime. I would love to pull up to a job site with me and my brother with our two black trucks and just dig in. If I did the work you did, I would get a quiter muffler for sure, it would not be cool at all to show up with a loud truck, comes off as very unprofessional. Those are some good looking cuts though.

 

No it's quite alright. Turns out after a couple days of bickering that we're more or less the same. I respect that kind of work, it's just a giant exhale for me, and I can get away from the world. What kind of a skid steer do you have?

 

well the one thing i like best about landscaping is im my own boss, and make my own hours, i have no one to boss me around, and i like that. its not an overly exciting job as it usually sucks in the summer when its ***** hott, your out all day in the sun. but its not horrible.

my skid is a new case 430 we had an older bobcat we sold and bought the new case. we also use it for snow cleanup.

 

Oh yes there she is lol. That looks fantastic, great find I would have to say a skid steer and an excavator are two of my favorite pieces of machinery. Skid steers do a great job with snow removal, extremely effective. But I hear that on being your own boss. I guess I have the next best thing where my pops is my boss, but one day I'd like to do my own thing. This summer I'm going to pry hard to get some balance between doing direct care and lawn care. My brother and I would really have an enjoyable time cutting loose on our own and hitting up some lawns every week. There are plently of yuppies around here who will do anything to one up their neighbor lol.

 

where do you live in maine? i spent 4 years in portland in the coastguard.

 

Oh really? I live in South Portland, about a couple miles away from the Casco Bay bridge.

 

here is my old ram towing the turbo car i built a few years back, car still has the maine plates on it.

 

yeah the coastguard base was in south portland. i spent many nights racing over the casco bay bridge. i lived in portland in an apartment complex off of washington ave.

 

Wow, small world huh? That's sweet. Was that a Mazra Protege? So you put a turbo into that car?

 

yeah it was a 1999 mazda protege with a 1.6 litre i did a custom turbo. it made 200 wheel HP, and just about 250 wheel TQ. so it made a ton of power never had a problem spanking mustangs/sti's/evos, whatever really.
