My other tinkering projects almost always involve a vehicle of some sort. One of my recent non-vehicle projects was hauling approx 30 bucket loads of asphalt tailings with my small Kubota backhoe. There has been probably 200 tons of tailings piled directly across the street from my house for over 10 years. Various entities have at times come in and got a load or two. The whole lot recently sold to a person I know and he told me to take what I needed. So, 30 trips across the road and back to my 30X50 equipment barn. Makes for a nice mud free floor and all it cost me was time and diesel. Now it’s all for sale by the truck load and hopefully by the end of summer I won’t have to look at it anymore.
