Jim had lots of tools to clean up after rebuilding and installing the new cylinder.  This afternoon, he headed up to grease up the new cylinder joints...

Then put it to use by digging out the stumps from our transplanted trees that died near the driveway...

There were some rocks sticking up by the edge of the woods that made it hard for Jim when cutting the grass, so he wanted to dig them out.  Here's the before picture...

Starting to dig it up...

Whoa...look out big this rock is!

It's huge!

Moving it over to the side...

Filling back up the hole a bit...

This is the other rock he wanted to dig out...

Big, but he's able to pick it up with the thumb on the excavator...

He was able to pick up the smaller rock with the bucket...

He couldn't get under the giant rock with the bucket...

So he was able to use the excavator to hold it up so that he could get underneath it...

In the bucket and ready to be moved to its new home.  We will use these rocks as the start/end of one of the rock walls we are going to restore.

Time to go see Mom and then head to church.
