    Wherever he was going it looks like he almost made it.
    Reminds me of when we were kids I was too young and too small to successfully buck hay bales on to the old 49 chevy 3/4 ton pickup me being 9 years old we wired wood blocks to the pedals so I could drive it. we were down ot almost the last load in the field so my cousins tried to get every bale on and make it in 1 trip. by interlocking the bales and stacking them over the cab they managed to get 74 bales on the old truck so many that the little 216 cubic inch engine even in low gear didn't have enough power to make it all the way to the top of a slight hill I had to back all the way back to the far end of the field and try making a run on the hill we made it on the 3rd try by having the 4 of them wait near the top and start pushing when my speed dropped too low.When we got to the barn I was the one who got chewed out for letting them load the pickup do heavy. What was a 9 year old going to do against 4 guys 4 to 6 years older than me?
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
