Good Dirty Fun

Kyle got off a little early today - he only works until 4:00 on Saturdays - so he took his Isuzu Trooper to some trails behind the Credit Union and played in the mud.  Nearly got stuck in a BIG mud hole... but got out and wasn't even as dirty as he was on Thursday night when he went over.  But he had a good time!!

Most of the mud is on the bottom... but you can see how muddy the tires are...

Just good "clean" fun!

Hard to believe this ol' truck is 23 years old!

A boy and his truck

Rod update:  He's sleeping in a truck stop in Matthews, Missouri.  He has to be up and out by 2:30 so he can deliver a load of Washington apples at 7:30 at a WalMart in ...  uh, somewhere!  LOL  I looked up so many places I can't remember now which one was his final destination, but I know it's about 180 miles from where he is now.

Jim update:  still waiting to hear from the company he's hoping to hire on with.

Tuesday again...

What a glorious morning!  Poor Rod called and said it was -6 in Newton Iowa this morning....  I went out to feed the horses - its 58 here with a light little breeze.  We could do without the wind, there is a 16,000 acre brush fire in the north part of the county.  They got a little rain yesterday, but the wind really isn't helping.  I'm sitting on a chair in the backyard, but might have to go in... the glare on the screen is awful.

I gave Andy his spring clipping this weekend and then we had rain yesterday and a north wind so I put his blanket on last night.  He was toasty warm this morning when I went out to feed.

Ok, here's the picture I promised you.....

Here's the story behind it...  

This was the photo for the Miami Chamber of Commerce about 25 years ago.  The caption is "Miami - see it like a native".  The folks on the Chamber Board were scandalized and refused to use it.  (remember, this was 25 years ago...)  So they BURNED all of them.  Except this one.  This is the ONLY copy (that they know of)  This silly poster is worth $25,000!!!  So I just "had" to get my picture next to it.  LOL  

(however all us Tappers were agonizing over how BADLY she needed to workout!)
