My husband, a fence builder, is on the cutting edge of technology and relationships.
Jake is the first dude in the region to invest in a machine that allows him to operate his Bobcat by remote control. What this means: He doesn’t need anyone to manually drive the Bobcat anymore while he pounds posts for building agricultural fence. He gets to do it all on his own — pound the posts and drive the machine. The new technology allows for greater quality control and improved efficiency and he gets to keep more money in his business (no workman’s comp).
And, perhaps most importantly, he doesn’t have to put up with abysmal Bobcat operators—ME! That would be me!—anymore. Our marriage just got three times stronger.
Bobcat itself came out to his job site to help him install the new technology and witness the event. I have a feeling other fencers will want to follow his lead.
My husband: Trail blazer. Trend setter. Marital visionary.
Jake is quite pleased
It's like a video game console
Look, there's no one is in the Bobcat!

That’s fantastic on so many levels.
WOW! What they can come up with in this day in age.
That is fxxxing awesome!!
It is a good thing you are already pregnant, since all that technology so close to his “parts” might affect sperm count.
Karen: Good point!!!
My best friend – a dude who, at five years old, responded to the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” with “A backhoe” – has GOT to see this.
