Kool, great stories. Best laugh I've had today. The first one sort of reminds me of my volunteer days back in the late 70's. Man, the stuff we did back then....
It was too bad John's fire truck was dead last night because he was going to let me take it for a spin. I'm sure we would have let the whole neighborhood know that we were done selling Christmas tree for the day, lights and sirens blaring.
He was kind of bummed out but I couldn't give him a hard time as my 46 is sitting in my shop with a dead battery too. It also might be because he spent the day driving a two horse power wagon that performed great. What treat. How many tree places do you go to that you can get a nice cup of hot chocolat, a beautiful tree and take ride on a white wagon being pulled by to beautiful Clydesdales. Put me down (and your co-driver) for tree detail next year, every year!
