You snooze, you loose...
Charlie is sound asleep.
But under his window, not more than 15 feet away, his all-time favorite entertainment is happening without him: A 310SG Deere 3-in-1 Excavation Backhoe tractor is absolutely shaking the house and tearing up our front yard. For those who are not familiar with excavation trucks, this one is like an amped-up Transformer toy; It has a shovel and dump end with jaw-like "teeth" to clamp objects between the lift and the blade (as it smashes the 50-year old cement slabs in pieces and hauls them to another dump truck). It has a scoop end with two crustacean-like retractable claws that break apart and haul smaller objects. The claws levy down to the ground, turning into "feet" that steady a 25-foot hydraulic scoop backhoe with sharp nails for digging. And it has a piercing, backup emergency beep- a sound that is driving me crazy at the moment.
But, my little truck-lover snoozes on.
I can't beleive he is missing the action, just under his window.
Sorry Charlie, you snooze, you lose...
