It is
the hour before midnight, on the harsh, gray flat asphalt road along the
banks of one of the Great Lakes . A truck races by like a
shadow, the moon glowing behind a small house. The car swiftly goes on
by, the dim light from the fogy night: --moon penetrating through the
fog onto the tuck and house, where a man is standing by the road; --
music is heard coming from the car, Rock & Roll, as this stranger
standing by the road, a man in a red plaid shirt, he stands erect, as if
he was Paul Bunion; standing in-between the road and the house as a
truck races by.
What would be part of the celebration? Well there would be music for
dancing from the Big Band which is sponsored by ITT Conglomerates. Of
course, there would be food, party favors, and a chance to meet and
greet other car lovers (and even lonely souls who had nowhere to go on
New Year's eve).
Along the roadside you can see
the shades of dark-green and black shadows along the grass, and the
crossing of shadows along the forwarding black asphalt road, as the
Ford-truck glides along. http://www.infoplease.com/ipka/A0883578.html&rct=j&q=&esrc=s
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. He now takes a look about
the area, it is not the house, it is the top of tress by the lake; --the
shadows are forming the likes of a house. As he catches his breath, they
continue forward.
Linda moved to Florida and got a job as a,
school teacher, here in the area. She wanted to buy a house so that the
kids could have a home. Lo and behold! She gets a notice that Ford Motor
Credit is suing her for the deficiency balance on the
buy truck online that they repossessed from
Outdoor Bob. The deficiency was over $5,500.00 Even though the Judge
instructed Bob to make the payments, he didn't. The judge never thought
to check with Ford Motor Credit to see if they would accept Outdoor Bob
as the new guarantor on the loan. They of course wouldn't have done it
anyway. After all, Bob's credit was terrible. He tipped his hat a bit, raising it off is forehead
and when he did I noticed steel eyes. Eagle eyes that I imagined could
spot a leaf hopper miles away. He screwed up his mouth, flicked the
straw out the window and opening the door, said, Well, let's go. A couple of
guys that had graduated from high school with me picked me up at the end
of my afternoon shift, and we went drinking in Lorain. We ended up in
Hannah's Bar on North Broadway just a couple of blocks south of Lake
Erie. 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.
