After uncle John's house, Mormor and I visited my second cousin Anders and his wife Carina in a city called Gävle. It was a quick visit, but we had a good time.
The visit started with a quick hello, and then Anders jumped into his lumber truck and began playing with his crane. He blocked off the whole street and then stepped out of the truck with a plastic cup. He placed it on a stone and then climbed up into the crane and began reaching for the cup. He gently picked the cup up and then place it on his mailbox.
After his stunt, he instructed me to climb up into the crane and do the same thing. After a thirty second tutorial I was ready to begin the challenging act. While shaky at first, I managed to pull myself together and pick the cup up and place it down.
So I learned how to use a crane.
The controls.
The task of picking up a plastic cup requires extreme mental control and concentration.
I got it!
Me in the booth.
Me, attempting to place a stone into a plastic cup.
The end result: Placing a cup on the narrow stone, and then placing a stone in the cup.
I was impressed by the whole process.
My teacher Anders.
This is the truck we used. It was actually stolen the week before.
We actually had a real job to do. We were going to put this gate post into the ground, but got a little carried away.
The end result of the project: So it's a little crooked, it's not that bad.
