It just wouldn’t feel right to end the year without seeing some heavy machinery one more time.
This week, we had a crew come in to finally fix the driveway, which was left in a rather pitiful state in the spring, and only got worse as the rains came — and came — and dug significant canyons in the gravel.

The little mustang scraper did a costume change, put on its roller attachment, and traveled up and down the driveway, packing the new gravel down:
