Ed's 50th. He insisted on the tiara. He earned it. 👑
Would you travel thousands of miles to get a free pink tractor to mow your lawn?
Sure as shit Ed would!

Still got it. 🤘
First class behavior. 💅
Happy Birthday, Tootsie! 🎂

🌟 So Who is Gay Ed Anyway? 🌟
Ed Heil — engineer, loyal friend, hydraulics genius, Bosch veteran, and the only man in recorded history to travel thousands of miles for the opportunity to ride a tiny pink tractor at his own bachelor party in front of everyone he knows.
Known to his closest friends as Tootsie — a nickname that requires no explanation to anyone who's met him, and absolutely no explanation to anyone who's seen the photos.
Ed has deep knowledge of hydraulics, drivetrains, hybrid systems, and apparently also of lawn equipment in unconventional color schemes. A true renaissance man.
He attended his own wedding (2008), survived his own bachelor party (2004), and has been a trusted friend and collaborator ever since. The tractor was pink. Ed was pinkier. We were all better for it.
We love you, Tootsie. Happy birthday. 🚜💕
