Got lucky and spotted a feller about to load up his track-hoe a few doors from our house. We had a sidewalk replaced recently for only the cost of the concrete thanks to an economic stimulus program - in doing so we had some of the walk 6" below grade and some 6" above. Ground is hard and dry and lawn covered - a little tiller was going to cost $54 for 5 hour and I was not looking forward to using it. For $50 the track hoe guy gently scraped the earth level and dumped the sod and dirt near the sidewalk high spots. Totally great deal! Watching someone use a backhoe or track hoe that has the skill is very cool. For instance this set of pics showing a hoe loading itself onto a rail car.

Welcome to the forum, Sully.

I see you have a nice intro on your profile page, I especially liked the mention of your wife. Feel free to start a thread in the Hi, I Am section and let us know how your first three years of retirement have been going.

I purchased some RMB bonds due Sept 2011. A pathetic 2.7% pa yield to maturity but better than the 0.0% yield on my RMB savings account. At least I don't have to pay any tax on that.

I also "invested" in a weekend hotel and spa package in Macau for my wife's birthday next weekend.

No way. I won't allow any cutting tools designed to be used on penises in my apartment. Don't even like the thought!

Lorena Bobbit used a common kitchen carving knife on her husband. Subsequently, there was another case where a common pair of scissors was employed, but I did not know all the details.
