Ahhhhhh just in case you wanted a little cheerer-upper…
You’re never too busy to show kindness to a child. Watch how this construction crew takes time to honor & involve a toddler who brought his toy dump truck along to see their own big machine in action. https://t.co/f5H5GwohEI
I used to work in construction, and once attended a construction equipment ‘rodeo’ where machine operators competed in skill demonstrations. This guy was just showing off :) very nice maneuver.
Apropos of recent threads, the first thing I remember wanting to be was a “diggerman”, probably after watching one of these machines in action at about the same age.
guest, one of the best things about my second and third careers has been having the opportunity to see things made and watch other people perform their tasks. When you see an operator of heavy equipment demonstrate great control and delicacy it’s a wonderful thing. We watched a 30 tonne digger pour tea from a thermos flask into a mug on one site a few years back. Not a drop spilt. The driver was practicing for a competition he was going to enter.
That’s really sweet. Thanks for sharing.
The toddler isn’t wearing a hard hat.
I will let the kid’s lack of PPE pass. That was awesome.

That is just delightful!

Sorry to be Mr Grumpytrousers, but two things jumped out at me.
First: in what world are small kids – or any members of the public – allowed to be that close to working heavy machinery?
Second: Honour a toddler? Honour? What a strange choice of word.
