This is what we fondly call "walking the dog." This trench is being used for electric lines and the ground is too soft for people to be safely inside. Therefore, the operator is remotely controlling this device from the side. The machine actually looks like a dog in its movements. It has two wheels in the front and two in the back. The wheels actually leave individual tracks. The back and front of the machine are two separate pieces so when the front is moving forward the back is swaying side to side slightly. It looks like it is just trotting along. The machine actually bounces and climb and goes around itself in circles. What is the function of the 'dog?' I haven't figured that out yet, I've been preoccupied from playing with the dog!
Noticed that the person "walking the dog" also wears a white hat and I do not think it is you. You are learning so many interesting things from your internship this summer. Hands on is really a great teacher!! Love you, Babe, and don't get too sunburned. How is Ian - give him our love?
