Next it was some skid steer work with the good ol’ Case 1845C, my favorite skid steer. I grew up running the ones with the hand controls so I prefer those over the foot pedal ones.
I use the forks to stab tree roots and small trees and brush. I also scrape bad areas to level, and then use a bucket to back blade as needed, then till to level. It’s a pretty effective method and I have miles worth of trails on the 33 acre property, and made lots of them this way growing up. I’m currently working on perfecting a 1 mile loop for my wife to run, and also for four wheeler riding!

I don’t have a bike yet, but this is Ruby, a Can-Am Outlander 800XT, and my trusty steed. She’s served me well for a number of years now and has made it through anything I’ve put her through here in Ohio and northern Michigan.
Here’s a few trail shots, I didn’t think to go down to the river since I wasn’t working down there. Tomorrow! Lots of deer and turkey on my property…

Day 3 ended with a massive charcuterie board for dinner. My wife was upset I said I was going to post it, she said she would have made it look pretty if she knew that would happen! We were pretty tired from working outside, so we both fell asleep watching a good documentary InnSaei, that we will finish later.

I finished reading this entire thread to catch up on the Fatboy Choco World Tour - I wanted to say thanks to all that have participated and put so much into making this an awesome thing to read. You all make this a great place to be and it’s awesome getting some insight into all of your lives. I consider each and every member of the forum a friend, and if anyone ever makes it to Northwest Ohio, please let me know.
And I am thankful to have stumbled my way into this tour. Thank you for thinking of me, Brock! And thank you guys for following along so far and for the kind words! I will try my best to keep the bar set high.

Day 3: Sherwood, Ohio: Population 827
This is my hometown — here is where Ohio 18 meets US 127. Not even a “one stoplight town” we just have a flashing red light here.
On the corner are our village grocer, 2 gas stations, The Apache Dairy Bar - our local ice cream parlor and sandwich shop, and our business.
While taking these photographs a guy I know pulls up to the stop sign and asks “what are you doing out here man, trying to sell yourself?” lol!

Possible propositioning? Well never know
