This load was also about $15:

and no shoveling!  The local place will let you buy a half or quarter
yard.  The scoop on the loader is a yard though, and it's hard for them to
gauge how full the scoop is.  Usually I end up with way more than I pay
for.  I thought they told me a yard was about a ton?  That doesn't look
like a yard in tabe's van.  And 4000 lbs on the back of a '57?  Yikes!

PS. cute family tabe!
