The time a squirrel completely changed my grading plan

I was doing a small lot grade in Cincinnati last fall, left the dozer for 15 minutes to check the stakes. Came back and a squirrel had filled the cab with about 50 walnuts, stashed in the seat, pedals, even the cup holder. Took me longer to clean that out than to do the actual grade check. Anyone else had wildlife totally mess with their machine?

Small lot grade in Cincinnati" got me. We just call it a lot grade here. Squirrels are the worst though. Had one chew through a wiring harness once.

That wiring harness story is a real eye opener. I used to think they were just a nuisance in the yard. Hearing about actual damage like that makes you see them totally different.
