Day late, but hey, what the heck.
I grew up in ND, and there are real winters up there. We were renting the house on a farm that was still operational, but the owner and his wife had moved into town. My dad had an old green Chevy, pretty sure it was a 64-66, but I was very young at the time. Anyway, we got one of the first snow of the year and he hooked up a toboggan (sp?) to the tow ball and pulled us 4 kids around the farm yard. It was so much fun. Not sure what happened to that old truck, wish I had it. Probably got sold, because he started having real bad heart problems about a year later, and couldn't work for the rest of his life. It was tough on a man of that generation to not be able to provide for his family, and I think it made him a little bitter, but that's another story. Great memory with that old truck.
