I’m not paying someone to get a load of dirt. It took me one hour to load the truck, unload and clean the bed when I was done. Delivery is $150.

Even if you don't have a truck, you can rent a U-haul truck or trailer cheaper than having most stuff delivered

The local place here charged me $45 to deliver mulch and the same to deliver topsoil last summer. That place must be so busy that don't want your business or they're the only show in town.

I just drive my SxS next door, take my neighbor’s mason dump or Bobcat when I need it, and leave the SxS there so he knows I have it.

I also have one of these unloaders… they work pretty good.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

I really like that Daytona Coupe. I am sure it is primarily a show car, but do you ever take it on the track for some non-competitive laps? I am sure it is biting at the chops to see some track time.

I haul it myself, but do "pay" for help loading/unloading....by which I mean I bring a buddy, an extra shovel, and cold beer.
