When I was growing up, I was four or five years old, my parents lived across the street from a construction company. And I remember in the summers I would sit on the curb outside of my parents house and kind of have my knees tucked up to my chest. And I would watch these guys bring their trucks and equipment and everything back to the yard. And there was something about the noise, the sounds, the smells, and the guys and the equipment themselves, Richard, that just made me think, this is like the coolest thing ever.
