Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
Stuff I'd love to keep! Sold some and got to keep others. I feel ok about both. I didn't sell the slots, but a guy paid for and will be picking up the 3 good tires tomorrow... Go figure.
Well, all good things must come to an end and Carlisle Trucks is no exception. Monroe was helpful in packing and loves to play t it. Nothing wrong with enjoying your work!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
We hit the road about dinner time and the sun was about to set as we rolled down through my valley. Kinda symbolic, I think. He seemed to be reflecting on his experience t Carlisle. More pictures at home later. Gotta go now.
Rolling down the highway: Approaching home in my valley:

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
Monroe is the one with a great sense of humor. He hops up on the hood and cackles out, "GMC. Grown Man's Chicken! Cock-a-doodle-do!!" Cracks me up!
Well, we were both plumb tuckered out and hit the hay early. Monday I decided, as I usually do, to take a decompression day and do some unloading. I told Chick Magnet the tarps all go in the spare cab and next thing I knew he was there waiting to take them from me Next it was stuff totes in the lean-to and, yep, there he was waitin' on me There were somethings that went in the barn and there he was wondering what the hold up was

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
With his help we got done in short time. While at the show I got a call my tool I had in for repair was ready, so I used the spare time for us to run on up to Hemp's and take care of picking that up. I was telling him how it was an old family business started in 1946 run by husband and wife and that the ole dog of theirs was always lazin' around behind the counter. He said, if it was alright, he'd prefer to just stay out in the truck
That took up the rest of the time we had before dropping him off at the bus station. He didn't say exactly where he was headed, but he had mentioned something about while he really liked it back east, he was missing the west. I have a sneaky suspicion somewhere west of the Mississippi will be the next place we see him pop up, I'm gonna miss that sawed off little sumbugger.

Tim he had a good time with you. I'm hoping the next stop is good as well.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
Thanks Dale. I'm going to adopt my own rubber chicken after this time with Monroe and would like to suggest others do the same. There are many waiting to find homes. But, if you go to a rescue, be careful. These birds are very eager
I'm sure his next stop will be a great one. I'm not saying where that will be. I'll just say you "will" enjoy what's next. But then, all stops are great, aren't they?

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
On our way to Carlisle Monroe spotted a tractor hauling a load of his feathered friends, he quickly jumped to the dash and let out a loud crow as if to say it will be alright.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
At Carlisle Trucks I kept explaining to people what was up with this whole rubber chicken thing. "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand" . No, actually I told them the deal and they kinda sorta said that was cool... I think? I don't embarrass easy. It was fun!

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!
Last time with Bonni he went all around the globe. Was difficult at times but in the end it was pretty cool.
This time I wanted to be more restricted, but the trip to Carlyle showed me I need to just let it rip and what happens happens. They all did a great job. I think as time goes by with this and Monroe gets in a groove we should go ahead and open it up to any one that wants to participate, no matter where they are on the planet. I just hate it when he disappears for a month at a time and its not the fault of the post office, ups, or fedex.
