Yep, that's me. Driving a backhoe was on my bucket list. Actually, owning a backhoe was on my bucket list, but I'd have to sacrifice a whole lot of conifers to buy one, and they're somewhat difficult to park!

Jealous! Oh boy the things I could accomplish with that thing! I have been saving up my "skidsteer projects" for some time, now. I did operate a backhoe one summer for a few brief shining moments. Just loaded some mulch, though, no digging. :o(
