Loading ...Mr Copper, I would like you to meet ole Betsy. Sweet 16 and still going strong. Course, like me, she has had a few rough rides and has the dents and dings to prove it. And heaven knows she could use a hot bath and get her toes painted. But I see it all as she has character, and you just cant find that on the showroom of some New Car Dealer. She already has outlasted 1 and 1/2 wives and a few girlfriends to boot. And she is just as comfortable sitting in the church parking lot as parked knee deep in some creek.
To tell ya the truth, there are some days I could use a car. One of those cute convertibles would be nice. Lost a good straw hat that way once. But I do a little ‘recycling’ of my own from time to time. You know, trying to keep those nasty carbon fees at bay and all that stuff. OK, so I admit, I like to do a little dumpster diving and salvaging (scavenging) when the opportunity arises. And I have to have my truck. Which reminds me, they are tearing down some old farmer’s brick house just down the road to put in another subdivision. I need to stop by and see if I can have the used brick to build one of those pizza ovens like Winedoc has.
Yes sir, I love my ole Ford Truck. American born and raised just like me. I been trying to score a few extra points with the man upstairs hoping He might let me bring her with me one of these days. So far the only answer to my prayers is ” Farmboy, forget about it. I’m having to bend a few rules just to let you in as it is. Going to tell you the same thing I told Noah when he wanted to bring his boat. Aint happening!”
