When I arrived home this evening I backed my truck into the drive and removed all the clutter from its interior. Tomorrow morning my mechanic will drop by the shop and drive it away for a few minor repairs. In preparation for his arrival I had much to remove.
So, out came three hand guns, two rifles, several full ammo cans of .45, .40, 9 mm ammunition, a case of frag grenades, two rocket launchers and six anti-personnel mines. Six or seven different brands and types of knives, my get-home bag and more hats than I could count.
I then searched under the back seat and grabbed my tool bag and two bottle jacks. I left the bottled water, the jerked boars head and its now yellowed tusk. I locked my flashlight in the console along with my winter gloves. The spare tent and rain gear went into the garage too. Thieves love tents and rain jackets. I then remembered the ax and my Hi-Lift jack. I like and trust my mechanic, but why place temptation before him.
While digging among the debris I found an old bag of Little Bit's candy...trash can. I'll keep the three 1911 magazines I pinched from Duke's range bag....he'll never miss them.
My truck should ride six inches higher tomorrow morning, and for sure, I'll feel naked as I drive to the shop.
Okay, I lied. I only have four grenades, and one rocket launcher. Sheesh, some people just can't take a joke.

Son of a b!%$#, I knew you had some of my mags.
ReplyDeleteWhat mags? Huh....oh, those were Steve's, my mistake.
DeleteLOL.....
ReplyDeleteThanks, Warlock, my old friend...nice to see you again.
DeleteSounds like you had a war wagon! I bet you get 2 extra miles a gallon now without the extra weight.
ReplyDeleteGood point since gas rose ten cents a gallon today...I'll remove the thirty cal mount tomorrow morning and that should bump my gas mileage up a bit.
DeleteWhat, no crossbow??? No Axes??? :-P IF you run across a spare mag for a Colt Commander, I'll take it... I'm one short! :-D
ReplyDeleteI did list the ax, second to last paragraph...never did get into archery...I like the smell of gunpowder. Thanks, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat garage, I need to see if there's anything else in that truck you forgot to unload and may have pinched from someone else.
ReplyDeleteFella has to keep a few secrets, Sandy...whisper, Duke might hear.
DeleteYou had me at "truck". Then the drool started flowing at "grenades". Then you had to ruin a perfect romance by owning up.
ReplyDeleteBut I bet finding little bit's candy broke your heart.
Well, didn't want to lie about a case of grenades when I only had a few...used the rest to fish out a creek. Yes, wasn't joking about the little bag of candy. Broke my heart when I threw it in the trash. Thanks, Joy.
DeleteThat reminds me, I've got a few things to remove out of the van today . . .
ReplyDeleteThat's the problem with traveling through some crazy states.
Yes indeed, especially when moving from north to south...all those crazy northeastern 'we don't like guns' states. Thanks, my friend.
