For me the
holiday season was always the most rewarding time of the year as a child
interested in hunting. I had every issue of deer and deer hunting
magazine to fill in during the non-holiday months. But hearing and
seeing hunting as a kid can never be replaced..those memories will stick
with you the rest of your years. During Christmas and Thanksgiving, we
started a tradition. My Grandfather, God rest his soul, used to sit down
after the meal and tell us of all the deer hunting stories he remembered
growing up. For me their was no better story teller that lived.
See my family has always been sort of dysfunctional and
encountered endless arguments over senseless topics for as long as I can
remember. The lesson of karma is that at some point in time, God, the
Universe and the "powers that be" will step in with the intent of
rebuilding the structure of a family broken down.

It's no secret that Jay Leno beat out David Letterman when it
was time for NBC to replace the retiring Johnny Carson in 1992. But, did
you know since the six foot tall comedian started hosting "The Tonight
Show" that he rarely takes a day off? One of his many cars can most
always be seen parked in his reserved "#1" parking place at the NBC
Studio in Burbank. And, on top of doing the show, Jay Leno still manages
to perform more than 150 standup comedy gigs a year. The questions continued and
I kept dodging them. Finally he dismissed me with a frustrated wave of
his hand. I went back through the corridor that Li-Li had led me
earlier, but I didn't see her when I returned to the bar. In fact, I
never saw her again nor did I ever return to the Shadow Bar.
There were three major car
manufacturers. Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Each manufacture had a
following. Arguments could erupt over which car was the best. A man's
Dodge pickup was a source of pride. Sunday morning the family would
dress in their best clothes and get into a Buick for the trip to church.
The Cadillac represented power and money while the Ford and Chevrolet
represented the working people. People that lived in the country had a
buy truck wash. It was a working
truck and on Saturday's the kids jumped in the back for a trip to
town. I'd never been in a fraternity in
college and only had one brother, so I never had to prove much in my
lifetime. No initiation rights, crazy acts of bravado. Not even tested
in war or proven to be a man. Sure, I've had some success in business,
but sitting in that truck with a man like Harvey just brought all those
male hormones to the front burner. Hot or mild. Just what kind of chile
man was I to become? Outdoor Bob, needed a truck
to go to work. Linda went with Bob to the local Ford dealer and bought a
new Ford pickup. Linda had the credit so the loan was in her name. About
six months later, Bob started to stop off on Friday at the local saloon
to cash his paycheck. Sure enough, there was a dart board there and a
few of the guys started tossing darts for beers. Bob was pretty good and
they invited him to be on the local dart team. So
there you have it. I have listed some of the more popular accessories
for a Ford truck. Of course there are many more such as performance
tuners and if you are going all out you can completely upgrade the
suspension. That will be another post for another day however. Until
then happy trucking my friends, hope to see you out at the truck
shows.
