much abliged!!! so many thanks.. my son is very sick and when he feels
better on those rare days, i like for him to have something to play with...
so i bought him this old IH truck he could fix up and kick around in whenhe
feels like it....
i drove it to the doctor the other day (yes, i did.. i had to.. my car was
in the shop and i needed to go, and i was illegal tags and all).. and on the
way there, a truck pulled up beside me and a man asked me "how much?" and i
asked
him "for what?" (even at 50, i can get a look or two, not as many as before,
but still.. ya know?) and he wanted to know about the truck, thought it was
neat and if the light hadn't turned green, i might could have made a profit,
but my son would have had a fit.. one thing about that truck, don't try to
park it in a parking garage, if you don't have the strength to maneuver it
in those small space with no power
steering.. i almost couldn't get that truck out of that garage... but
everyone was real nice as i scootched an inch up and scooched an inch back a
million and one times to get in and out of that dang parking
garage....whew... can;t wait til my little toyota gets out of the shop...
many thanks again for the web sites.. i will give them to my son and he will
bug me to death wanting money, but whats a mother for???huh?

thanks, linda
