Poor old George
Posted: December 12, 2022, 7:37 pm
My 61 has been really neglected last couple years
I bought it back in 2007 ….
That was a tough year on me
I lost my dad & one of my older best friends that summer
I got thru it keeping busy farming
But when farming calmed down for the winter
Started really getting depressed …..
Dr put me on antidepressants
The first night I slept about an hour & half
The second night I was on eBay
Found “George” and put a crazy bid on it
Next day I was like … no more of those dam pills !
I realized I was depressed .. but I had a reason to be
No use in taking a pill for it
When the bidding ended … I ended up with the truck
Stumbled onto a Slick60 site … and joined
Lot of guys on here & I didn’t know what to think of them
They kept talking about “SlickStock”
Found out it was in Kansas City…
Not to bad a drive … even at 55 mph
There were people from Canada , Alaska , east & west coast
And even a couple from Australia
Pretty friendly group & they adopted me
I said they were friendly .. not good judges of character
Any way… George went back in the shop today
Needs some stuff to get it back up in shape
But I hope to drive it to SlickStock in 2023
Apparently it’s in Salina Kansas
A short drive from my place
Who knows what hijinks will happen
Truck fairies & corn bats have shown up before
Anyway … here’s what George looks like now
Kinda sad …. But he will shine again
