Friday - went over to my buddy's place in hickville in the afternoon (barely beat rush hour traffic), evening went to the bar, got me a new female friend (lil blond cutie, drives a '78 K10 stepper), "danced" in the parking lot with said new female friend (ever seen pickups run circles around each other cause of the rear ends coming around while laying down some rubber?), and ended up the evening at my buddy's house with five Chevy and two Ford trucks parked all over the front lawn, and a Dodge in the back yard with a big-a$$ TV in the bed and a cable running from the house, and a whole lot of stupid chilling around the bonfire (what's that thing called a fire code?) roasting marshmallows and chasing each other for the remote for the TV and flipping between G.A.C. and CMT
Saturday - new female friend brings over her lil bro and his dirt bike, dirt bike gets a new chain, then my bike gets new wiring for the fuses, then off we all go fishing, darn kid kept catching all the fish and I didn't catch nothing
The evening we spend at the same bar where the owner was throwing a baby party for some local trucker kid who became a daddy on Friday but just hauled in from down Texas
Sunday - bike gets some more more mechanical fix-ups, truck gets some more interior fix-ups, and I head for home, taking as many windy back roads and dirt roads as I can, all is good, truck pulls steady 35mph and 1500rpms in 2nd and gas gauge barely moves, then near Grass Lake or Glass Lake or whatever I pass a broke-down John Deer tractor - turns out engine just shut off, guy ain't got a clue why, but he got his two lil kids with him, a trailer full of hay, and like 10 more miles to home, but most importantly he got a long towing chain - my rear trailer hitch ain't got no ball on it so bolting up the chain was real simple, then tie it to the Deer and off we go - keeping it in 1st at 2k rpms is all it took to get the folks home, and let me tell ya their lady makes the best darn apple pie I've had
When I got at my place tho I found out some oil stains on the top of the intake behind the carb, gotta pull the air cleaner of these days to see where the heck it came from, but I know is it wasn't there when I pulled off my buddy's place... Oh well, old trucks are made to be fixed, lol
