I think we had different questions - I had one wrong, but it was the "cab" of the wheel loader

It's funny that I missed "truck" for the thing that the wheels are on = on a skateboard. We were watching How It's Made over the weekend and they had a segment on skateboards. Too bad I did not watch that before the test! LOL!!

I've read 13 of them and several are in Mt TBR, but there are a few that I have no intention of reading - ever.

I know! I tried The Name of the Rose years ago when the movie came out - but not my cup of tea!!
