seems just about every weekend if you travel the roads of north alabama enuff you will find one of my POS vehicles sitting on the side of the road.. last weekend it was the mustang .. last nite i got low on beer and had to make a panic run to the store.. raining cats and dogs as it has been here for the last 40 days and 40 nites..the dodge truck that has been so faithfull barely got me there and back .. i`d loved to have had to walk 5 miles in blinding rain .. this morning i did`nt want to trust the dodge to take me to the gym so i fire up the V6 pinto sitting in my back yard .. it immediately sinks about 6 inches into the muddy ground .. i think well i`ll let it sit and run and get warm while i take the dodge down the street and see if i`ts ok .. i`ts not ok !!! .. a mile down the road it quits completely .. now iv`e got to hike a mile back home knowing the pinto is sitting idleing stuck in the mud probably gunna run hot .. i run-walk as much as i can and finally get home .. i take the V8 pinto and tie it to the V6 pinto with the longest rope i can find and since `im by myself i have to put both in gear and run from one to the other trying to get the V6 unstuck .. when it does break free the V8 is pulling me along in the mud with the V6 in gear. .. i race to catch the V8 just before it meets a tree .. put it in park then race back to catch the V6 just before it slams the V8 .. man it mite have been funny had it been on video .. went to the gym and did my workout .. on the way back stopped and the dodge fired rite up .. brought it home now iv`e got to hike a mile back and abscond with the V6 pinto ... i promise .. saturday i`m buying some kind of new or newer vehicle .. dang a bunch of junk .. everything i have is for sale soon except the mustang and possible the dodge if it aint too much trouble to fix ... i normally dont hit the sudweisers so early in the day but today i cant help it .. just wish it was`nt so warm that i`ll be tempted to get tha stang out .. i mostly only have enuff courage to drive it if i`m buzzed ..iv`e used up all my sick days at work .. can i call in dead ?
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
