Skeeter, TK reminisces: "Well boys I was coming back from a bear hunting expedition ... feeling POed ... lots of bears in the woods that day but them critters is just too smart ... couldn't bag one. So it's rainin' heavy ... dark and cold ... and I'm driving my old converted chip wagon, you remember, old MU (short for Moronic Upstart cause she's so hard to start up but once she gets going that baby just didn't know how to stop ... most days that is). I was thinking fondly of how many bears I've run over with that old girl ... sure beats going into the woods after them. Anyway, I'm tearing down canyon road ... Fido's in the back eating kibble and bits, that dog could eat megabits, weighed a ton ... not too bright but he sure was faithful. I got to admit maybe I'm not being as careful on the corners as I should have been on account of being POed about the bears ... when all of a sudden all hell breaks loose. DRAM (dirty rain & muck) starts fallin' real heavy ... I can't see a thing ... the rear wheels slide as I try to brake the old girl ... the brakes lock up and before you know it we slide right off the road and end up teetering half on, half off with me staring into the abyss. Ten thousand feet straight down!!! There wasn't a sound except for the patter of the rain ... couldn't hear myself breathe cause I wasn't. Inched my hand to the door handle ... opened it ... creak!! Old MU shifted an inch or two and then settled again. Boys, I thought I was a goner. Then I heard Fido stir in the back ... 'stay boy' I grunted thru clenched teeth before I realized he was too stupid to understand. His feet scrabbled as he started to come forward ... I jumped thru that door like greased lightnin' ... just managed to latch onto the cliff. Behind me old MU tilted some more and then with this terrifying scrapin' and creakin' she lurched down into the abyss as if possessed. Faintly I could hear Fido barking as he tried to figure out what was going on. Boys, old MU fell so far and so hard I couldn't even hear her when she hit the ground. And that's the whole story." "Sure TK, but what we heard is that you were drunk." Sorry, had to get it out of my system ....... regards, Mike
