Description
Ain't what it used to be. Back in the day, you used a shovel, worked your tail off and it took days. Marcos rented this beast of a machine and Jordan walked behind it while it did the work. The thing dug a trench a foot deep, about 9 inches wide---all for Marcos' new water system. It's getting close to being done, once it's ready, we won't have to drag a couple hundred feet of hose to water his nearly 50 fruit trees!! yay!!!

Well taken !!
How awesome!! I am happy to "ditch" the old ways....I dig the new way of digging trenches. :) Don't mind me...sleep-deprived here..hehehe
Great capture! that Ditch-witch is a cool thing to play with. When I worked on the Lacamas Lake Restoration Project, I got to dig a ditch about two hundred feet long and 16 inches deep with a machine like this.
Impressive! Looks like you'd need a degree to operate it, though!
oh I have one of those. (Barreto, right? Got it! I've got 3...) Ok I'm lying. But yeah, this isn't the kind of machine our parents used. (Of course my father didn't dig too many trenches either. His attitude was: "With all the creepy things in that soil---who needs the headache?" He usually followed that up with an "Oy!!!") I'm glad you have that. That's a fearsome looking thing. I guess you don't wanna be in front of it as it approaches. I wish you great success with it, Marilyn. Maybe you'll show us a trench after it's dug up...And btw, it's great to see Jordan again. Where in the world did he learn to operate that thing? Great to see him here.
Much too awesome in its menacing way to comment on.
That could do some serious bodily harm if you weren't careful, I'm sure; I can just see the horror film now. "Ditch"
A great looking beast and it sounds like it did the job in quick time!
Wow! We sure have come a long way.... I want one of these :) Aloha
