Thumbs up Darn you Texans!!

How dare you!After all the jokes I have given you!Didnt your mother teach you how to share!Ok,so let me explain.
If you have been following the kings soggy saga,you know that I flew down there to celebrate the New Year with my little girls.Well,after not seeing them,or their mother for 25yrs,I figured they would have aged!Well,the girls did,but their mother didnt!WHATS UP WITH THAT!Here I am hitting 50 and looking like a prune,and she walks in looking like the same babe I had (censored)and(censored)25 years ago!I thought the fountain of youth was supposed to be in Florida!
Anyway,I spent about ten days down there,and by day seven,I was convinced that I wanted to live there.Every time I turned a corner I saw another SWEET old truck.I think I may have even started annoying the family with,LOOK AT THAT SWEET 71,or MAN DID YOU SEE THAT 65!I dont recall ever reading the chapter that said heaven was really Texas!
I had a great time.I saw the Alamo!I went to the Riverwalk!I ate Mexican food and played name that tune,although some people on the flight home wanted to toss me out of the plane I got to spend some quality time alone with one of my little girls.I met my grandaughter!WHAT A CUTIE!!!She is only three,and when I walked in I had a stuffed bear under my coat.I asked her what I had right here and pointed at the lump in my coat.Well she said,your nipple,which sent the whole room into hysterical laughter.After I finished laughing,I pulled her bear out of my coat.Man there is nothing like the smile of a small child.She loved it.I also gave her a stuffed dog,which she also fell in love with.She even insisted on taking them to bed with her.Oh,how I love being a grandpa!LET THE SPOILING BEGIN!
So,anyway,I better cut this short cause its getting kind of long so,Move over Texans,there is a mean ol king a movin in!
Oh yeah,one other thing.What a nice bunch of people,everybody said thank you when I held a door open for them.Complete strangers would smile and say good morning!What a great place!

I have to sell my home here and about 8 or 9 trucks,then I am on my way.I have a good friend here that has seven kids so needless to say he doesnt have alot of money,so I figure I will give him my 1ton with the snowplow,I wont need it.And my snowmobiles,wont need them either.I really hate to part with my F600 with the backhoe mounted on it.I have never seen another one like it,but I figure it will cost far more than its worth to ship it.Oh well,I can always start another collection when I get there.

IF you spent some time in San Anton you should know its completely pheasable to get all 7 of those trucks down here. If you dont get it by now, my mother grew up in San An, and we spent plenty of time down there visiting and have seen uncountable numbers of creative ways to tow cars. From belts to other articles of clothing, it must be in the water down there, but they sure get it towed.

KT, you come on down here big boy. One thing I noticed about folks from Michigan when they played twice in the Alamobowl, they alot like us Texans. Pretty classy folks and just as friendly. And yeah, we got a bunch of them oldie cars and trucks. Ya oughta see some of the drive-ins on Saturday nite. Just like going to a free car show. And besides, where else can ya be a grandpa?

SSHHHHHH. Please don't let everybody know how great it is here. They'll all want to come down. And by the way, bring some snow so we know what it looks like.

Hurry up and move down here! Come visit the texas chapter when your lookin for a place. You can find plenty of trucks down here, no rust. I would recommend looking for a place in between san anton, Ft Worth/dallas, and houston. Good places to live around here. Stephenville would be a good place, i need a fellow ford trucker to hang around with! Good luck on whatever you decide to do!

Your a lucky man KT. Not everyone gets the opportunity to move to the greatest state in the union. You may need to start a "how to be a Texan" type thread so you will be prepared when you get here.

You are right woogs,one way would have been cheaper!And I could have brought the rest of my tribe down there after I found a home.But I would have had to abandon all my trucks and my lincoln,so I couldnt do it.This way I will have my own convoy,so if you see a sharp lookin Mark VIII towin a boat,followed by a GMC with a sweet lookin 74 4x4 on a trailer,you will know the king has arrived!
Breaker Breaker 19,this here is King Triton,how about it rubber duck,you got your ears on?

I have always enjoyed my time in the Great State of Texas. I'm an Arizona man myself, but I have spent lots of quality time in the Lone Star State. Any state that can produce a man like George Strait has the tip of my hat to be sure. Anywhere, as long as it is in the southwest, ain't bad in my book. I could go on and on about it.
