Blinding snow and wind didn't slow this clam digger down much, since he "...promised Mumma a good bucketful tonight, by-the-Jesus!" Temperatures hovered just around freezing, but that was fairly warm for this veteran digger. Although he sure was taken by surprise when two huskies appeared out of nowhere and started licking his face! If only I'd caught a picture of that :)
Another composite from the soon to be din-X gas station in Tungelsta. The diggers are here. Digging holes for the new gas tanks. bigger.
Sasha loves to dig. She had a good time digging at the beach. I'm babysitting her for a week and it's always a good sign with the dog falls asleep after the exercise. Yay!
Looking for ants with his sharp snout. The echidna is one of the rare mammals laying eggs.

The male would use his powerful hindlegs in order to push the substrate around in the depression and he made quite a sizable one by the time he was done, several body lengths worth atleast. You can see the mosquitos in flight above him but as soon as he stopped digging they would settle back down.
Had a wonderful long weekend on the coast with the family! So grateful for time together, and time just watching the kiddos learn & play and have a blast.
This was in Louisiana when the Ant Lab at LSU was commissioned by a British TV show to dig up a leaf cutter ant nest. This species, Atta texana, is the only one that occurs in North America.

The ants are moving these leaves into their nest to be chewed up to grow a fungus which they then consume as food! How cool!
This man is digging a hole for the emergency latrine that we want to install, it has to be at least four meters deep! It's amazing how hard these people worked and how fast the emergency latrines could be implemented!
Obviously there is gold and great treasure hidden in the mud, and this guy and his friends are going to find it.
Maggie, our coach, demonstrates correct double digging technique. Note the board to distribute weight and not pack down soil.
Here I've welded the base of the shank to the black pipe (6013 weld rod is my favorite for this job) The next part took me a while to learn via several failures but is the secret to this lifetime tool. I have to render the TIP of the shank immobile where it lies encased now in the black pipe. I accomplish this by cranking up the arc welder to 135 amps and blast a small hole near the premeasured location of the shank tip. I then lay the weld bead on the shank through the hole I've made and slowly withdraw the rod filing the hole as I withdraw the rod. Look at the white dot on the black pipe to the left of the tip of the displayed weld rod. That's the fill hole now closed. I now flip the fork over and repeat the immobilization of the shank on the opposite side.
Experience shows me that this procedure stops any shank flexing inside the pipe and keeps my first weld from breaking loose. All I do now is coat the black pipe with liquid nails, a glue, and force it into the stainless steel pipe. This is the best fork not found on the market to avoid the frustration of another broken garden tool. It is made of TOtally REcycled MAterials (TOREMA) and money can't buy it. With all materials on hand I made two lifetime quality digging forks in under twenty five minutes. The fork leverages better for hard soils because it is long -handled and splinters in the hands aren't possible as there is no wood to weather. I paint the tines gold and call it "The TOREMA gold digger!"
