#12 Drive a stick shift (part one)

We've had several friends and family members tell us that they started their own list of "resolutions."  I'm proud to report that Neil's dad recently checked a big item off his list - restore a CASE bulldozer - and it looks great! 



When I first found out that Neil's dad was working on this project, I told him, "I can't wait to drive it!"  Little did I know (from all my years working with construction equipment)...it is has a stick shift, allowing me to cross something off my list too!



It was overwhelming at first...five sticks and one pedal?  And, the directions were not much help either.



Luckily, Neil's dad was an excellent teacher, and if you ask me, I drove that bulldozer like a pro! 



Next step to completely cross this item off my list is to drive John Kennedy's truck.  JK, it's just like driving a bulldozer right?  Until next time!
