That was for you, Sam. They said they were tryin to make the white triangle people happy. Right there in California. That would make a nice companion to the 40.

It's not the cost of the truck that's a barrier, UJ...it's the cost of the subsequent divorce...:P

I guess I'm a winner! I bought the truck (Jethroe)and she still kept me. Although I'll hear about it until my dying day. (Except when she wants me to use "Jethroe" to pick up hay or some other acuterments to horse drawn wagons)

As the husband of a horse lady, I advise you to play the "horse card" shamelessly! Remember, your truck doesn't eat anything, nor does it do anything that requires a shovel to clean up! It doesn't require daily care, and it can be used to haul hay, fencing, tack, etc. etc. You play your cards right, and she'll be begging you to buy another one. Well, that may be a stretch, but at least she won't whine when you spend a little money on Jethro to keep it standing ready to serve her every equine need.

Favorite horse message on T-shirt: I'm just one horse away from being "that crazy horse lady".

Ain't that the truth!

Nice truck though - If I didn't already have a '46 in my garage, I would have thought hard on this one!

bent metal

hmmm, that truck looks familiar.
