A Slight Diversion...

Nothing like staying on task, I always say.
I was surfing the net a couple of weeks ago and saw this cute fire truck up for auction. It's a 1966 Dodge M37 4x4 Cargo Truck which had been converted to a woodlands fire truck. It seemed like a good idea to get it for the ranch, since we are not too near any firefighting equipment. I was the high bidder, so I had to go get it and bring it home.
The fact that it was located in Lexington, NC, and required a trailer I didn't have was no deterrent. My wife & I jumped into the truck and headed for North Carolina, only 2450 miles away. Once there, we purchased a trailer and hauled our 6,000 lb baby back to Idaho.
NB to those who have never towed anything that heavy across this beautiful country: It's all uphill from Nebraska to Pocatello, Idaho.
All in all, it was a fun trip. Actually, the timing was good, considering that the closing on the property has been delayed several times. I have never seen such a Chinese fire drill in my life. That is a story unto itself.
