 Topic: Getting the new pickup on thursday evening
Posted: 08 Jul 2019 at 10:12pm |

I'm still waiting on UPS, US Mail, or Speedy to deliver several of those rusty old cans of money from good ol shameless. 3 or 4 outta be enough. Smiley face goes here. Only the 2nd new vehical I have ever bought. I have been lucky though. The last 10 or so, I have bought wholesale. Not this one. Guess it helps when you work'd at a car dealership. We decided to get rid of 3, a dodge mini van with 250000 miles on it, my 05 1/2 ton 2x4 CHevy with 260000 miles on it and the ford camper with 46000 miles on it. That will still.leave me with 4 to keep up the license. I'm hoping this pickup has a 2 speed transfer case in it. If it does I can tow it 4 wheels down behind the motor home. Some only have a single speed case, can't tow those behind a motor home.

Dog gone its got the single speed transfer case. Looks like we'll be towing this 07 Chrysler van. Old gal and I been washing chickens all morning. Grand son is on vacation in Yellowstone and won't be back till Friday. We gotta have them at the fair grounds today at 6.00 pm. Some of these broilers don't have very many feathers on them. I hope that doesn't count against them. Is think the fewer feathers on them the better it would be. Its his next to last FFA project. This kid aint afraid if work, kinda happy to do it for him.

I got to drive it today. At 55 mph it seems like you are creaping along. It ran 22+ mph on I80 today. Took the grandson to his county fair. The kids were "selling" their livestock today. Actually not selling it. Folks were bidding on the kids work today. I saw a whole lot of good looking livestock today. I thought 4H was almost dead around here I'm glad to see, not in this county.

That's great Tom, you've got new wheels and a GREAT guy for a grandson. Nice to see that they can be different and not 'stuck' behind a cell phone all day.
