My truck doesn't actually work that hard, it is just that I make up reasons to get it out of the garage. With the price of gas as it is on this side of the pond, I just can't justify hauling around 2 tons of metal to get my fat behind from point A to point B. But as far as real work goes - the kind these trucks were built for - it isn't the same thing. I drive on too much asphalt, not enough gravel or fields.
Today I drove my daughter in to horse riding, took the truck so I could haul home a pile of manure. Just an excuse to drive it, and that kind of load suits the truck perfectly.
Wouldn't mind meeting in Scotland for a beer, or even that other stronger golden liquid Scotland is so famous for. As you say, the gas for the trip would be a bit spendy, what I need is a good excuse. Need any fertilizer over there?
