On The Road Again

The Scrappers are Back!

Our day started early in the a.m.

with a travel

mug filled with

Chock Full o' Nuts

coffee.

Then out to my newest love...

I haven't named her yet

so I'm open for suggestions.

Our red Ford Ranger

was too nice for

our rough and wild ways...

so...

when we were offered a pretty

penny for her

we said our sad good byes.

Ergo...we were out of business.

Sort of.

When we found metal we

made it fit in my Jeep Cherokee.

But...

This morning we were all smiles.

In our new/old

Ford F150.

I have one word to describe her...

sweet.

She heated up fast for our

early take-off.

Our lucky charm.

She led us right

to some

precious metal.

Even with the 8 foot bed

we had a 3 foot over-hang.

We're talkin a big find!

A loaded bed...

the best kind.

We high-fived our success

and headed home

by way of back roads.

First day back in business.

Here's the one

who made this post possible. (other than James)

A classic ride. We found her in

Maybee, OH...

way down country roads.

We had been looking all weekend.

Nothing was quite right.

We were about to call it a day

when we decided to check this baby out.

An hour from home...

at night...

but it was love at first sight.

She'll be twenty this year...

with plenty of miles left in her.

When you see this in your

rear view

don't forget to wave.

I'm thinking our bumper sticker

should read...

"You Wish"

for all the other trucks out there.

Because it doesn't get any better than this.

A Ford F150...

Royal blue with a broad white stripe...

cushy seats...

a radio that works...

an 8 foot bed...

loaded down with metal!

The Young Scrappers

are Back in Business!
