then ironically on the way to dinner after, ended up hitting a big ol fat chicken that knocked out the lower grill ( it was knocked inside and i was able to get it so i can get it put back on later as there was no major damage done, just popped out.)

i also found the matching center in reasonable enough condition at a price i was willing to pay, so after work i jumped on the highway and went for a drive to pick it up.

the car was not happy i let it get this low. also found it amusing that this is one of the worst tanks i got, being on the highway i got 26mpg, when by back country driving i have been getting 27 1/2 - 29.6 so far.

the excavator will be used to take down several small trees and the couple dilapidated buildings on the property in order to prep it as we intend to section a part off and put a house of some type on for mother in law.

the equipment belongs to a buddy that wants to know how i do with it and is basically going to "rent" it, it will still cost me a bit to rent it, probably 1-2k but is far cheaper than the 8-10k that he figures he would quote it out for.

Is a small building, I would say 20x15. I think the previous owners used it for keeping some animals or feed or such. The front is only about 6' tall more of a shed than real "building".


The other with the fence around is/was a dog kennel with 5 completely separate runs with inside and outside access, actually was pretty not bad originally.
