MINI Boom

Heading to the North Shore Mall for lunch this past weekend, we noticed a JLG electric boom lift vehicle parked (the mall is doing a lot of construction!) … this vehicle is one of the machines equipped with my company‘s control systems, and there happened to be a nice parking space right next to it, so I had to take pictures!

As you can see, the vehicle is even smaller than a MINI – although it has a higher reach 🙂
And the MINI goes faster (maximum boom vehicle speed is about 3mph, limited by our controls!)

Apple Picking Sunday

Today turned out to be a beautiful, if cool, weather day – a great day for meeting MINI friends for a drive to an orchard!

We ended up with seven MINIs, just the right number for a fun back roads drive through some lovely scenery, to George Hill Orchard:

Lots to do at the orchard, including hay rides, a maze, petting zoo, food – and even, if you feel like it, apple picking!

A great day – thanks, Sheena!
