I don't know why, but I have an incredible amount of admiration for this man.

People from Saskatchewan, myself included, have way too much time on our hands...

It's why we can afford to do crazy things like this.

That is actually really cool.

I was almost going to purchase a remote controlled Bobcat skid steer for my daughter when she was born, but I decided it could wait until she was older. I still regret not making that purchase, because now there is no way I could convince the wife that it is a good idea.

I have a special place in my heart for Bobcat scale models. Though, I've never bought, or tried out the remote control versions.
