Hi Guys:
I just had to add my 2c worth.
I'm rebuilding myy truck on a slab next to the garage (sorry all the
room we had).
Anyway, we put a 3" drain under the slab so the side yard wouldn't
flood. The day I took off to do the work, it rained cats & dogs. My wife
camne out to help. We live in Redlands CA. Any guesses as to whay it's
called Redlands? You got it red clay.
We had to trench about 50 ft. she jumped in and helped in the downpour.
Masn we were absolutely covered from head to foot! We were laughing and
hooting like couple of crazies on a cheap drunk. She hung in there till the
job was done.
She's not too ecited about the truck, but she said she figured she
needed to help me a little. I reckon there are a lot of bad wives, but it
sure is nice when you're lucky enough to get a good one. Sounds like a lot
of us guys (Oletruckers) got good ones.
