You will be driving ?

You should not be hard to spot PROSPECTORMIKEL. Whoever sold you a "pick-up" should be ashamed of themselves

But heck, please stop by and pick me up on your way to the party

Hey guys, don't bother and spend your money to make your life good. All the expenses at Don Jose 150th anniversary will be mine + Greek girls dancers. You are all invited.

I think that the problem with the truck is the invisible dog [emoji240], that’s pulling on the white rope.

It keeps dragging it off the curb.

Still lots of room in the back!!!

I can't have any either, so it will be that much more for those that can! (I don't have anything against alcohol, but it won't mix well with certain medications, I discovered the hard way! Sometimes those little warning labels on the pill bottles are telling you the truth!

Keep 'em coming!

 

[Simon1]

No worries Roy, I quit alcohol back in the early 80's, got into too much trouble

I am going to see Markmar's dancers, eat cake, and watch Don Jose break my arm while arm wrestling me

That was a rope Mikel ? I thought it was a cane I put on my glasses so I could see your doggy Hmmm, these may be good to watch those dancers too

Just so we are all on the same page...

It is 31 years old, now. But in 50 years, it will be 81 years old.



That is if I can still buy parts for it, 50 years later $!$!$$$!$$&$

Still a good looking truck Mikel .

 

[Simon1]

Our company truck was a 1986 Toyota " 1 Ton " 2 wheel drive with the 22r engine. That thing was indestructible. It cane from the factory designated " 1 Ton " and even the tailgate was stamped 1 Ton. Never tested it, but seriously doubt that rating. It had regular springs, 6 lugs per wheel , long bed, and not a dually.

Good times.

Weekender, I remember it like it was yesterday.

Emotional roller coaster of a day!!

I still remember the look on your face when I drove down that cow trail in ole Yoda!!

I’m pretty sure that you figured that I was out of my mind! The tires would push back the saplings, then they would stand up again and scrape from the door to the back wheels.

A lot like scratching a blackboard!!!...!!!??

Howdy Mikel,

You should have told Weekender what my brother told my Compadre.

My younger brother hunted hogs for many years, and always used his trucks like a bulldozer, going over not just small brush, and cactus, but any mesquite he could plow down. He could buy a new truck, and by next morning it would already be all scratched up. One time that I dropped by to see him, and look at his new truck, he told me, " I buy my trucks to use them".

Well, one night he took a Compadre of mine who had baptized one of my boys, on a hog hunt. The dogs bayed a large hog in the thickest area of that place. My brother got there first, and shot the hog after waiting a while for my Compadre. He actually wanted for my Compadre to kill the hog, but it was also a matter of saving the dogs. Turned out that my Compadre who is an old hunter himself, found himself floating on top of the brush for a while. The whitebrush was thick, and it's one of the few that has no thorns. He couldn't walk through it, so he tried to go over it, getting stuck swimming over it.
They managed to drag the hog out of the whitebrush thicket, and flagged the spot with an old shirt leaving it there, and went after the dogs which had bayed another one.

After the second hog, they gathered the dogs, dragged that hog to a road that was close, and went to load the dogs. When they were plowing through the brush looking for the large hog, my brother turned to my Compadre, and said "next time we can come in your truck".

Any updates from our very special Señor Don Jose?

Just talked to him yesterday, still can't get access due to the password glitch. He did say he is able to read our posts but can't sign in. Hopefully they can get it straightened out soon.

Please do continue; keep 'em coming!

 

[Simon1]

Thanks for the update Roy.
Good to know he is reading the posts.
Now if only he could "read" our minds

Seriously, hurry back Senor Don Jose

 

[doc-d]

Ya, I hope he can work out things and join us soon......I miss his stories and wisdom.
Vaya con Dios mis amigos

Don Jose's return somehow reminded me of another leader's return that I witnessed on April 27, 1951 in his motorcade from Chicago to Milwaukee:

Welcome back !!
Don.....
