A Good Day

I was going to work today and I happened to look down at my odometer it was on 279,998.8. So I watched it change to 280,000 right in front of a Dodge dealership. I looked out over all those Dohgees and thought about how many of them would ever see 280,000 and be in as good shape as my old Ford. I just smiled and waved as I passed them by. Ya'll have a good day too if you can. Robert.

Yeah... I got excited when I saw my truck at around 99,998 and I started telling the other people in the car. We got to talking and I looked down again and it was at about 100,004, DAMN!!!!!!!

I want to thank everyone who took the time to reply to or read this post today. It would have been a lot harder to get my truck in good shape without the help I got from you people. So, Thanks.
