    Your mind is on too many things.
    A shop.
    Niagra Falls,
    Boat rides.
    Car races.
    Cheap wine
    And reliving your anniversary.

    Hah, that's a sight I didn't think I'd be seeing. I hope they didn't fry the transmission and differential.

    I've been asked the same one time, only it was somewhere else.

    WHY DON'T I SEE THAT KIND OF THING IN THIS IN MODERN DAY WITH NEWER PICKUP TRUCKS? Maybe I'm just not close to construction work.

    All the house movers I've seen have old military surplus trucks to do that.

    I saw a late '80s Cummins Dodge towing a single-wide office trailer once. Maintenance on that rig must've been expensive. This was back when Dodge claimed they could tow up to 16K.

    I saw that photo years ago. It showed several angles and told what was happening. I sort of forgot.
    I just happen to watch TV ads in the evenings. Yes, I pay over $100 a month for cable to watch paid ads.
    In those ads I often see a new Dodge truck pulling a church down a small town street out to a field in the country.
    If you are not near construction watch TV.

    Fannie and Mr fannie went to Niagra Falls for their anniversary and were planning to take some boat rides. This looks like fannie 40 years ago when she married Mr fannie, or yesterday.

    OMG! When I was eight, those two movies were out, and American Graffiti was the first movie I ever saw, at a theater, by myself, with my own money. It looms quite large in my first ten years of life. But, it could've been different; Sleeper was playing next door to AG, and I had seen a trailer for Sleeper and laughed my butt off, so that's what I tried to go see, but the pimply-faced Zep Disciple ticket doofus didn't want to get in trouble, so he said no to Sleeper, but offered to let me in to American Graffiti!:LOL::cautious::lolup:

    A few years ago when I was a kid, I had a paper route. Each week along with the fortune I earned I'd get a free movie ticket. Many weeks a few of us paper boys went to the theater down town. But when a musical or some crappy love story was on we didn't go. By the time I grew up and left home I had a stack of unused movie tickets.
    Sadly someone tore down the historic movie house. Of course, around our town things Chinese decorated so the movie theater was actually beautiful with lots of statues and things.
    Danged I miss Roy Rogers and the Three Stooges.:90::D
    None of the newest films were played until they were old and worn out. We had to go over to the Big City to see Sleeper or A. G.

    We never had the oldies movies by the time I was five; those were getting shown on TV. But, we had drive-ins, where horror fests abounded (when Dad was in Viet Nam and we lived in Tigard, OR while he was there, Mom would drag all us kids to the local drive-in each Wednesday night to see the cheap horror triple-feature (I was 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 that year, so I had to get this from my brother Tim), which usually had two schlocky films, and one new-run flick. One week, we saw (well, evereyone else saw, I was asleep) The Fly, 5 million years to Earth, and Night of the Living Dead. The first two were scary to my siblings, but apparently, Night scared the beejeezus out of them! When we got home, my brothers pushed all the beds into the center of the room and left the light on. Our poor sister must've been cowering and crying all alone in her room......:yikes:
