Bobcat

If I were to say that I played with worked on a Bobcat for 12 hours today, would this image come to mind?

Even if you know that the Bobcat I used looked like this?:

Of course, if you have ever used a Bobcat (and remember your first day at the controls) this image probably comes to mind:

And all I wanted to do was remove some excess dirt from the garage floor so I can get it ready for fill sand, then concrete.

The soil here is interesting; with each scoop, we get a different kind. We have a sand/clay mix; a brown or white clay; and a black, nutrient-rich looking soil with a clay-like texture; to name a few. Bobcat and I purr right along as we move the sand/clay by the bucket load. But, Ol' Bucko has a cockle burr under the saddle for one thing, and them me an' him found chawin' on rawhide to be more productive than trying to move that thar clay.

Oh, for a nice long, warm soak in a deep tub!
