I once drove a skytrack for a crew that fixed up my uncle's shed. It was 3 man crew. It was the owner/boss, the #2 guy and the new guy. I would drive the skytrak around the shed while those guys would be on a platform with no railings. I enjoyed helping them, learned some stuff too. They used a 2002 Ford F-350 7.3L PSD DRW 6spd 4:10 gearing to get to their jobs, until they upgraded to a 2008 F-450 with the 6.4L 5R-110 torq shift with 4:30 gearing.

Knock on wood, but I'm ship shape so far...sore shoulders from all the nail guns and hanging off houses. And rocks, I like rock climbing too.

My right knee is also gone,, blew my ACL when I was 8 and never had it fixed, I'm 45 now. The cartilage is gone because of it. I can still do most anything I want, but I have to do it very slowly and take LOTS of Advil!!! Ha! Ha!! Ha!!!

Sounds AWESOME, Scott!! I grilled bacon-wrapped pork tenderloins (like fillet Mignon only made of pork) last night, made my famous home made salsa today, and I think we'll do Jambalaya tonight. The wife & I will both work on that. And now *I'M* getting hungry, and I just ate lunch......

Nice, Skytracks are the bomb. Love the ability to go wherever I want and articulate the machine so it's level. So much fun. Cool that they had super dutys as well. All of my bosses in the past have had 7.3's, all of them. Naturally I bought one when I became my own boss. Just seemed right.

I've operated a lull and fork lifts on many construction sites
I really wished to operate some of the bigger excavators and loaders...
My cousin had a backhoe and a dozer that we used in my dads yard to clear trees and landscape...
there was no yard when we moved in.
playing with fire is fun also...
I worked in a blacksmith shop for 3 years and made some interesting stuff
sure beats working at wallymart!
