Met older daughter and family for a weekend in Vegas. Wife gave son in
law and me an Excavator experience at digthisvegas.com. Fun weekend.
Expensive stay though. Even excluding any gambling. Stayed at Mandalay
Bay. Specials on room, but no reasonable dining. Even in room coffee
was $5 a cup. Got a lesson in a Cat 315C excavator. Dug a big hole,
moved 2500# tires and picked up a basketball and dropped in a tire. Fun
trip. I have a great wife. Great gifts. No boating.

Cool. I'd like to try that sometime.


Call Sunbelt, they will rent you an excavator for far less than a
weekend in Vegas. Do you have any flower beds you need turned in the
yard? ;-)

I may be getting a "long stick" Gradall here as soon as I can work out
the details and arrange the operator. You can come over and play with
that.
