Tonka Trucks...Supersized

Tom:  "Charles is going to teach  me how to drive his dump truck.  He'll fill it up, then I'll go dump it."

Me (with renting or leasing in mind):  "It sure would be nice to have two dump trucks so that while you're taking one to be emptied, Charles can be filling the other one up.  That way, he wouldn't be having to just sit around and wait for you to come back."

So...he bought one.  The next time I have some sort of time saving tips that might involve big machines.  I will keep my mouth shut.  Anyone who farms knows that big equipment breaks down.  A lot.  Yes, this truck has already had its moments.  But, overall, the men who have come to check it out have assured Tom that this is a most excellent dump truck and will accomplish all manner of wondrous feats.


"Oooh and aaah!"

Boys and their toys. So, does that mean the next big ticket item you want you can just go buy?

I'm thinking...some nice rocks would fit the bill. heh. And I really do mean rocks, like flagstone.

Tom says the plan is to sell the truck when the pond project is done, but other people are telling him he should keep it because he'll need it for other things.

I'm thinking you should buy a couple of horses..cause you can use them to do other things :o) And I'm sure Tom can come up with a reason to keep the truck..LOL
