Good Lord, DeeBye
I just get home from the Thanksgiving closing up of the cottage, glumly noting all the Hallowe'en paraphernalia adorning so many homes on the trip back, thinking about what the purchasing expedition that lies ahead, and you have already started buying Christmas presents???
Although that is one fine looking truck, I can't help but inject my jaundiced and cynical observation that these things eventually take up more space than you would believe. I still feel guilt about my part in the overflowing dump sites of Toronto, due to purchasing several of that ilk. And I have finally convinced my sons that the collection of oversized Fire Trucks also has to go - although we failed to find time to actually get them to the dump, so they are lined up nicely beside the deck of the cottage, waiting for that first dump run of the spring.
Having said all that - Do open it up and make absolutely sure it is in working order before Christmas ! Big Trucks are big fun.
:D

And you may call it righteousness
When civility survives,
But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
