For Grandson
« on: August 01, 2012, 03:08:03 pm »
Just turned 5.  Although he's a child of video games and the cartoon network, I was pleasantly surprised at how much he really enjoyed his gift!  He spent the entire afternoon playing with it and actually asked me if I had some spare chunks of wood he could use as cargo.  I was happy to oblige him and his play time actually consisted of him using his imagination to build roads and loading docks!  Guess I'll be making him some equipment to haul on that rig!  ASAP!

Now that is one fine truck it's no wonder he likes it, but as you say it just needs some equipment to put on it.
It's all a case of "Mind over Matter",  The Government don't Mind, and I don't Matter.

It is great to see some imagination being used.  Glad you brought it out in that young man.
Nice truck.

Nice work, next you will be looking for your hammer - just might find it on the truck.   Well done.
