    New subscriber here....our son is in training in the Army for his MOS of 12N - horizontal construction engineer. When he is done with training, he will be running equipment similar to what you are using. Watching you has helped me understand what his job serving our country will be. Love your channel! 😊 thanks!

    except your kid will be clearing land where brown people once lived with out paying taxes because their families owned that land forever... until the us army lands there then the brown people are "relocated", "given jobs", and made to pay tax... that they can't afford... so they lose everything... thank your son for me... for killing what is left of the world we live in.

    I worked the same sort of job in the 1970's. The ditch was an old irrigation canal. The company I was working for screened the sand we dug out to use it for cement. The most amazing thing happened! That irrigation ditch was full of old bottles from the 1800's. I would stand in front of the screening machine and, boom! Every couple of minutes an old bottle would pop out! I gathered hundreds of them!

    I just love Smithfield Chicken and BBQ! You must have stopped at the one in Smithfield. I understand that was the original one. Wife and I would take a day trip from Wash., DC area to JR's at exit 97 and have lunch at Smithfield. Love Eastern NC pulled pork BBQ.

    I must have missed the back story on Brandon's visit and working with/for you for this bit. Scouting a move, interviewing for a job, or just lending a hand to a friend?
