Can you just imagine how good an equipment operator that kid will be by the time he’s an adult? At 5 he’ll be able to dig a trench right next to a wall without damaging anything. At 10 he’ll be able to cleanly slip off a tire from a car’s wheel with the tip of a forklift. At 18 he’ll be able to gently but effectively scratch his underarm with the bucket of his back hoe. At 25, he’ll be using a 300 foot crane to silently swipe the little Jello pudding containers out his co-workers’ lunchboxes from 20 stories away. By the time he retires, he’ll be able to produce Mona Lisa-quality art, holding the brush in the claws of a logging grapple. In a hurricane. Blindfolded. Using his feet on the controls.

How the heck did you get a video of me as a kid?

Ok, seriously. I was obsessed with heavy equipment as a kid. Now I get to run it occassionally for my job. Tonka toys are fun, but there is nothing like burning some diesel.
