The machine is unstuck!

Today, with the work of several people, two backhoes (one considerably larger than the other), and a much more skilled machine operator with the second backhoe, the boom lift was broken out of it's muddy mess and now is safely parked in the driveway. Huzzzah!

When I got home from work tonight, I used it to remove the old gutter from the back of the house, and reseal the leaks around the stink pipes coming up through the roof. It's supposed to rain tommorrow and wednesday. So, gonna ask for thursday off from work and get as much done as possible up high with the machine, as the rental company will be coming to get it friday.

What a freaking relief.
