The Big Boys are in Town

On my way home I had to dtop off at Churchill Square and take a look at some of the heavy duty equipment they had on display.
This past Saturday they had a ceremony at city hall honoring those who had been injured or killed in workplace accidents.
Continuing with the theme of Safety on the job there were a few pieces of heavy duty equipment on display.
I have seen pictures of this particular truck before but this was the first time I had seen one in person and it is amazing how large they really are.
I waited until this man walked in front so there was someone to help give an idea of how large it really is
As I am now in the month of May I realized that I am now in the last month of my 365 project. I can not believe that one year is almost up
:) Neat truck
