It's funny how such a powerful piece of equipment, such as a backhoe, should feature such an industrial interface.

Something they are building on the way into the park...

There was an abandoned a house in Rockport. Each year I'd notice how it became more overgrown. This year, it was finally knocked down.

This is a toy that I used to play with when I was little. I love the aged and worn out look.

Like any ex-5-year-old-boy, I like big machines.

Joshie was delighted to get his turn in the backhoe cab.

I needed to bring the Backhoe home with me for the weekend. This was the best way. Bike to work load the bike and drive the machine home. Took it back to work the same way on Monday.
