Nice. Don't forget to pack that stuff in. Wheel roll or compactor.

He's trying to finagle a compactor attachment for his bobcat so he can compact it down before the next rain. May have to just pay him to rent one for the day.

Cool.
Driveway was compacted yesterday. I haven't seen it yet, but after the last rain it felt like walking on concrete. I'm hoping it just smoothed it some. Dyno is functional. Time to start on phase 2 since phase 1 is now complete with all the equipment functioning.
He redid the grading of the dirt around the pad and garage to enhance drainage from the concrete. He says he compacted the gravel but then he drove over it with the skid steer and it looks marginally better as a result of the tracks loosening it back up.
Biggest news is I got the dyno going was able to start making some tuning money and then my 7 year old dyno electronics stack(my 5th or 6th one), refused to communicate. So it needs replaced. They don't make this crap anymore, so I had to man up and buy the new gen 2 electronics package. Basically it is everything but the drum and brakes. Lol. Lucky me. Just start seeing what I thought was light at the end of the tunnel and it turned out to be a train! Bought the package and all new straps for a total of 4800 shipped. Yep, now I start all over trying to get caught up. Sucks big time but the alternative is a 60k buck oil change rack. Lol. Assembled a few more shelves and got more totes emptied. Set up my buffet table/engine disassembly table since my engine room is tape marks on the floor. Lol. Think Les Nessman.
