Been a bit expensive lately too: Gotta make some $$ to pay for my new toys

I didn’t read the entire thread, so I’m sorry if I’m repeating some info. Even if this work is through the local conservation commission or state environmental agency, you need a dredge permit through the US Army Corps of Engineers. That is definitely a navigable waterway.

I charge $65 an hour (held my price for years) for my old customers, but am moving on to quoting per job for new folks. Hay Dude is right, rarely does hourly work well for everyone. It worked Ok at first, but as I got more proficient at each property, it took much less time and therefore less...

Nice work! Looks great and nice color!

I just noticed the thumb too. I'm about 18 tons of jealous over here!

Nice! Is that a 15 ton machine? Very handy with the clean-up bucket and wrist! At work we have the filters on the transfer tank pumps with clear water separators. I believe the filter elements have a desiccant in them as well. As always, proper maintenance is key, and ours are woefully under...

The Tacoma has one clear advantage that I see. The springs can be assisted with air bags to provide more stability and reduced squat. Airbags or other devices may be availible for the Lexus, but likely not as many choices and more expensive.

Wow - thank you all for the the advice, stories, thoughts and prayers! Vinny is still doing pretty good. Like I said he's pepped back up with the insulin shots and he's playing with the other dogs and trotting around. Eats and poops well. :) Still our happy guy. Some info that I was not aware...

Ha! At least the needles are pretty small!

Thanks Rock, I appreciate it. The insulin is no big deal. Easy enough to do and not crazy expensive. I want to do right by the dog though. I really don't want him to suffer, but if we can fix it, I'd like to. I have found a service called Journey's End that euthanizes pets at home. When it...

Thanks Moss, so far the insulin isn't too bad to administer. I say that pretty easily because my wife has done it all! It has pep'ed him up a bit and he's not drinking as much water.

Need some advice TBN: We have three dogs, two Maltese and one rescue Chihuahua. My wife and I don't have kids and these little guys are our family. The dog in question is our male 11 year old Maltese and my wife's bestie, Vinny. We recently took him in to see the vet because he was peeing a...

5030 - have you ever added a coolant filter to your PS? I put one on mine, which alos doses the additive, but I've never cut open the filter to see if its doing anything? Sorry to go way off topic.

Anderson Equipment is a Komatsu dealer in Henrietta. Give them a buzz and see if they can get parts. We have never had any issues getting parts for my fathers D41 dozer. He bought it new back in the mid 80's. He has had various Komatsu excavators too, with no problem getting parts. Anderson has...

I'd look up TN reg's to see if the rules apply to "weight ratings" or "registered weight". There is a lot of confusion in the language used. It seems like contract lawyers are the ones who write these regulations, yet the common man has to abide by and enforce them.
