Truck Day

So, I'm a little behind on my posting.  I've been working on a very hard on a knitting project.  Let me tell you, I've been doing so much knitting, that my carpal tunnel is flaring up.  Regardless, I'm very proud of what I have accomplished, and pictures will be posted at a later date! 

At the beginning of September was Truck Day.  Rob looks forward to this day every year.  You know how some people have count downs to Christmas?  He has a count down to Truck Day.  Truck Day lets kids get up close and personal with trucks and other equipment.  It's fun to watch all of the kids climb all over every thing and honk all of the horns!  Rob and his guys spend a lot of time getting the trucks and all of the equipment cleaned up and shinny.  He made sure that he arrived early so he could get a prime spot on the green. 

Rob was very upset that he could only bring two trucks this year.  Someone tampered with the third truck and it was in the process of getting fixed.  Instead, he decided to bring Pookie's Cozy Coup as an alternative.  After Pookie got the Cozy Coup, Rob brought it to the guy that does his lettering for the big trucks.  There are decals posted for his landscaping company, along with Pookie's name and a shamrock plastered on top.  For the occasion, Rob added a small strobe light to the top of it and created a Boss "plow" for it.  Apparently Rob and his dad are in discussions of making a more impressive plow for next year. 

Pookie's Cozy Coup was a big hit with the kids.  There was generally a couple of kids waiting to try it out.  Pookie, however, wasn't too thrilled with all of the kids getting into his car.  At one point he went over, opened the door and "helped" another child get out of the vehicle.  I'm not sure what bothered Pookie more, people climbing over Rob's equipment and trucks or the kids playing with his car. 

Pookie had a grand time checking out all of the other trucks.  I brought ear protection for him, but he wasn't interested.  I was a little surprised by that.  We're talking about the kid that wears his ear protectors when I'm vacuuming the house.  Whatever floats his boat, I guess.  The count down is now on for next year!
