Truck

I have had a F150 white truck almost since I moved here 18 years ago. Nations has been warning me that the end was near. Over 250,000 miles and a big chuck of it was sixteen years driving over Hurrah Pass. A month or two ago I was pulling into the Vet clinic to get Jax a check up and it died blocking traffic. The Vet and assistant ran out into the road and pushed me into a parking spot. Nations Towing showed up a little while later and said it was over. I'll deliver the title next time I go to town and I have a $1200 bill from last time they brought it back to life. Chris who use to run Nations told me his daughter was leaving for school somewhere and wanted a different vehicle so he sold he hers and after having three F150s and a F250 in the parking lot for years I now have a Chevy and since it's white, hard to tell from the one that graced the parking lot for so many years which I counted on hundreds of times and did hundreds of rescues with. I will miss it. There's a tear in my eye, maybe two.
