Caleb & Ricky digging dirt.
Notice how you can see 2 and on the right, 3 blocks that have a coating of some sort on them? We will be filling this, and all the other rooms, with dirt up to the level where the color changes. That's a LOT of dirt!

Hitachi
73 pound Electric Breaker
The worst jack hammer I have rented so far.
Bosch is the best.
Caliche is a sedimentary rock, a hardened deposit of calcium carbonate.
5/18/2010 UPDATE
I have now rented four different Electric Demolition Breakers - jack hammers and
here is my opinion of each:
THE BEST
Bosch Brute 60-lb 11304 Electric Demolition Breaker / Hammer
This thing is only 60 pounds and it cracks through all my caliche with
ease and speed. I would say it is about three times faster than the
poorest performing Hitachi.
SECOND BEST
Low noise but not as fast as the Bosch.
It's also 6 pounds heavier than my number
one choice.
THIRD PLACE
Wacker 60-lb Electric Demolition Breaker
Almost the same breaking rate as the Makita but noisier.
Size does matter. The lighter the tool, for equal destructive
power, the better.
LAST PLACE
Hitachi H90SE 70lb. Demolition Breaker Hammer
It's heavy, it's loud and it's slow.
I spent a whole day on a three hour job.
Caveat Emptor:
These machines are all rentals with unknown
wear and maintenance records.
If any of these are wrongly rated then
shame on the rental company for not maintaining
their machines and skewing my appraisal.

Rowdy was sure he was close to getting a mouse out of this hole he was digging. I never seen anything even close to looking like a mouse, but like I have said Mom and Dad are giving everything to him so I have to humor him and wish him good luck. Besides I really like the look on his face. The lighting is harsh I just liked his look.
Digging for worms!?!
This is the first in a series of illustration i am creating for a the story i am writing about Lucy. The little girl who likes mud & to play outside, bugs & adventure, picking flowers & never wearing shoes. She is also very often inclined to pick her nose!
Sketch to Illustration:
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.

A view of one nest chamber from far away. The nest is huge and can cover many meters.
Michigan? No, Maryland. Western Maryland? No, the Eastern Shore. Wind was worse in the second Blizzard of 2010, especially over the flatlands of Delmarva where the standard showfall is an inch, gone by noon.
Yours truly: "You've done this before, haven't you, Maurilio?"
Maurilio: "Si, Señor."
Yours truly: "Back in Guatemala?"
Maurilio: "Ay, no, Señor."
Enjoying our well-packed lunch at the net park, out in the burbs (unfortunately the suburbs seem to have more money to build cooler playgrounds).
