Digger of My Dreams
Bumped into a friend last night and he asked me if I know how to use or perhaps operate a digger. A digger you say? Is that the one I use when I do some gardening in my backyard? With a straight and serious look from my friend, I quickly retracted my words. A digger, or an excavator to be specific, was actually one of the things I wanted to get my hands on and drive.
Excavators are toys for heavy equipment drivers and have earned the respect of utility and construction workers worldwide. However, one has to set aside time to read its operator’s manual, become familiar with its control, knobs, and buttons and get as much training in running and operating the excavator. The different warning labels, charts and instructions that can be seen stuck onto the many parts and pieces of the excavator will guide you in operating and performing maintenance on the machine. And since I want to try this kind of toy, I’d better get as much training and information about running and operating an excavator before I get my hands on it. Will keep you posted once I start on my training, so ta ta for now!
