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. Andy knows that it will be a hard trick to fool everyone. His friend Johnny Mosley, will be helping as he pretends to be hosting a reality show. Posing as David, a computer programmer, Andy will be working with Johnny and the employees to see if he deserves to win a job.

To give you an idea of the depth of the collection, on display is a 1926 Rolls-Royce. Wilbert Grinsven, the curator tells me that there were only two years that Rolls-Royce manufactured cars in the United States. Those years were 1926 and 1927. This car is one of the few Rolls Royce's made here during that time. The auto manufacturer decided that it was not economically feasible to continue manufacturing autos in the US and closed its factory here in the states after only 2 years. Another example of a beautiful old car is a car used in the movie "Driving Miss Daisy". http://www.wikihow.com/Find-a-Good-Used-Engine I should always watch what I say because with the PC their could be a small child on here collecting those hunting stories like I collected them from my grandfather. Although the word bullshit was one of those sacred words as a kid you used to say just out of ear shot of mom and dad. It had it's own mystique about it altogether back then. Since Jay Leno took over the hosting duties at "The Tonight Show", he has earned another nickname-"The King of Late Night." So, how much money does the king earn? Another little known fact about Jay Leno is that his annual salary is reported to be a cool $17,000,000, according to Forbes. It can seem useless in the winter to wash your buy truck new or used. If it's just going to hail iceberg sized chunks, what is the point? But you'd be surprised what a nice coat of wax and a regular wash can do for your body. Just like your own figure, you like to shower, primp, and style on a daily basis. Don't deprive your F150 the same maintenance. Salt does a number on the frame, but ice, cinders, and snow can also be hazardous to the body. If you clean underneath the truck and in the wheel wells frequently, you'll prevent long term damage. If you've made it this far, you're a few steps away from $3,500 or $4,500 and a new, more environmentally-friendly car. No need to register-the official website explains all you need to do is head to a local car dealer. The national program runs off a $1 billion fund. Once the money runs out or we hit the month of November, you're on your own. I resumed my mission and approached the Shadow Bar. Shadow Bar is an unusual name that had nothing to do with the building itself. The walls were bright, white stucco with the front of the one-story building evenly divided by a massive black door with a small glass window centered about five feet up from the sidewalk. The few windows in the building were covered with shades and draperies that allowed no glimpse of what was happening inside. 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.
