Monday's fierce winter storm knocked out the local electric transformer, and today a new one arrived at the Quichapa substation. The pictured crane truck, that will first pick up the destroyed transformer and then lift into place its replacement, totally blocked both lanes of Hwy. 56, taking its own sweet time backing in. A gigantic metal dinosaur controlled by a human brain. Way cool.
Just like a kid I still love trucks!
Ain't humans cool for building and maintaining such things as crane trucks and transformers?

Do you have any of the old, metal Tonka trucks?
You've never seen my Tonka Fire Pumper or Hook & Ladder truck, which were mine from the early 60's? Yes the early 60's!.
Nope. I thought you saved that maneuver to woo the womenfolk.
