One of my dreams is to own a Bobcat. I love 'em. One day the church had a
'land clearing' and the guy in charge asked me if I could operate a Bobcat.
(He knew I could operate a chain saw, which was plenty of qualification, I
guess.) Naturally I told him I could!

The rental company delivered the Bobcat, and the man asked if I'd ever
operated one. I wasn't dishonest with him, so he spent 10 minutes showing
me what the levers and pedals do. What a blast! I spent the next several
hours having a ball with the Bobcat. It was like a fantasy come true!

Couple of years ago I rented a baby excavator to dig a trench in my
backyard. That was fun.
