For most people, cleaning cars mean getting a bucket, some soap, a hose, and a sponge. And this also means getting all wet. This is mainly because cleaning a car mostly means to a huge portion of people as cleaning only the exterior of a car. Just keep in mind just how many music videos, movies, and documentaries show people cleaning only their car's exterior. Even if you do try to search images about cleaning a car, you would most likely be given a list of images that show people getting wet and soapy while cleaning the car's exterior. He seemed to bring back his memories in full color HD detail in my mind. A lot of those stories are fleeting at best, I am sure he added in his own little exaggerated touches but back then it didn't matter. That is what Deer Camp stories did for me in D&DH magazine in the off season too. My Dad used to call my grandfather a bullshitter and never fully understood that till after growing up and experiencing life for myself. I think this life needs bullshitters to carry on that tradition of deer hunting we have all come to love.

According to statistics, the average household income in 1970 was $8,734 and it rose to $16,461 in 1979. The unemployment rate was 3.5% in 1970 and up and down all decade landing at 8.5% in 1979. Heart disease was and still is the leading cause of death. Also, Aids and HIV was discovered in the seventies. There were many major medical break throughs in the 1970's. One of the most noted being the completion of the MRI scan in 1977. My mother recalls having medical insurance and being able to get a tooth pulled at the dentist for $15.00. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1959-chevrolet-fleetside-pickup.htm&rct=j&q=&esrc=s Truly the only thing Hannah's was good for was drinking, and despite our ages we ordered up and were served the working man's traditional shot-and-a-beer. In fact we were served a lot of tradition that night, and by two in the morning we were beginning to feel our oats. In 1970 my husband bought a Dodge R/T for $5000. The price of the car was usually a bit less, but this particular car had all the bells and whistles needed to be a true Muscle Car. If kept in mint condition this car would now be worth approximately $50,000. He was young and foolish though; blew up the engine, and just trashed the car. To this day, the thought of his youthful waste makes him kind of sick. 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 engines online. It was a working truck and on Saturday's the kids jumped in the back for a trip to town. The homes are built with quality construction materials. FALSE. For the most part they are. Except Jake did say to me in the case of the Armada home, due to time constraints. they ran out of the treated lumber they used to build the house, so the blue wood that is shown on TV as being used for mold prevention in a small area of the home is actually regular wood spray painted blue. The end of the story is we were able to get the lawyer for Ford Motor Credit to accept a much lesser amount because he was trying to get a default judgment on his fees. That was illegal here in Florida, so with his hands in the cookie jar, he just wanted to get it over rather than have his name placed in front of the Florida Bar Assn. So happens he ran out of his truck with his gun in hand pointing and said look at that huge partridge. Back then the partridge appeared to be three feet tall as it sat on an old sturdy willow branch. Its head and shoulders were covered with snow and just sat their looking at my uncle. All of a sudden you hear boom and feathers going everywhere like when you bust open one of your mothers feather pillows she got for you for Christmas. Looking you see that glorious partridge in all its splendor laying on the ground. Yea those memories are sacred and worth writing about.
