Owening a large car is like having two high priced wifes they alway need and want something and just when you THINK that you have some money in the bank the clutch goes out or that ft. rear end eats a power divider or the bearing go out of the back rear and eats the ring and pinion or you runover something and blow three of them new drives that you just put on last week or the engine dropes a pistion and you just ran out of warranty and it took the crank and block , Oh yea i want to run wright out and by a big truck and go haul tractors for 60 or 70 cents a mile . When i would go to sales around here guys would come up and ask me to haul there tractors or equipment for 20 to 50 bucks and i would just laugh at them . I was at a Kiko auction and i know the Kiko boys well use to fix there tractors and do there combineing for them and some guy asked Rusty if he knew of somebody that could haul this TW 25 Ford with duals from the sale and this sale was way down below Maryettia Ohio way back in the sticks with some real hard pullen up them humps and bumps and Rusty said that i was there with truck and trailer and that i was fair on price this guy wanted that TW25 hauled west of Madiana O . And he found me and when he asked i said yes that i could haul it and it was a 1.50 per loaded mile he went to Rusty compainen that i was rippen him off and Rusty came over and asked me what i had said and when i told him like i told that BOOZO Rusty did not think that i was out line atall . Then the Boozo come back over and offers me a whoppen 75 bucks and tells me that it is on my way home i live buy the state line on the east side and he also tells me that it is better to haul his tractor for that then going home empty then he made a comment that he could drive it for less , Now i am not sure but he may have had a vary long ride home in that tractor because ya can't drive a tractor on Interstates and there was no direct route out of there on the back roads. The ride home was enjoyable.
