Andy's brother, Pete, works for Caterpilar in Peoria, IL. They recently had family day and we got to tour the proving grounds. Alex enjoyed the activity of all the people, but next year he'll be a little more excited about the tractors I think. Alex was facinated by Andy's dad, Wayne, facial hair! He kept poking it (top picture). In one of the pictures, Andy and Alex are in a new bobcat.....very fancy compared to the one his dad uses on the the farm. Most of these pictures are located in the brand new building used for testing equipment when the weather is unfavorable. It's a huge building..... equal to 8 football fields side by side! So just the width of this place is as long as a football field. The picture where Alex is pointing through the glass is an observation room were the engineers (like Pete) can control the tests on the equipment. The whole building uses wireless signals to transmit info from the tractors to the computers during testing. Needless to say, Pete is going to have a lot of fun playing in his new work space!

Just one quick comment here; it's a skidsteer loader, not a bobcat. Bobcat is our competitor :)
