Now...tell me something I didn't already know.


The last time I was in the E.R., the doctor (has seen me many times over the years) said her official diagnosis was: "Brian...you are weird!"

She knows me pretty well.

That particular time was my 3rd heart attack. I had two more stints put in the next day. LOL

In my neck of the WOODS (Northern Alberta Canada...sounds pretty woodsy don't it?) there seem to be very few bonus built trucks and thus I have determined the following:

- It seems that either there were soo few people up here in the mid to late 50's
- So little money and so few roads, horses were still the most popular mode of transportation.
- Some money grubbing recycler has gone through the country and offered every farmer $100.00 for his old effie only to be crushed and sold as scrap metal.
- The Dodge dealer was the first to arrive in this part of the country (there is an old one in every yard up here.
and finally.....
- I still have many stones to over turn and there are still old effies out there.

Now I know why it takes 3-5 years to restore a truck...it takes forever to find a decent parts truck.
