This is the kind of shit guys like to do. Admit it, you would have tried this at that age. Don’t lie.

The dude driving the scooter looks 50. I would have tried it at 18.

Don’t worry Ma, it’s all down hill from here.

The Canadian sticker gives it away. Besides, no self-respecting redneck would be caught dead on a scooter. A moped, yes (after the 2nd DUI.)

Back in ’83, the guy at the Uhaul told me I could lay the fridge down, just leave it set upright for a couple of days afterward. I wish other folks would unlearn the idea that a fridge must never be laid down. It would reduce the number of folks who ride on the back of a pickup trying to keep a fridge upright. https://youtu.be/0fVNapIBjSs

Another little known fact, if you have a kid install your car stereo in an old Civic, he may unknowingly blow a fuse. In that case, you will have trouble getting your car smogged since the code reader will say the engine is not ready. Pep Boys nor the Honda dealer could figure it out until I called the AZ smog helpdesk. His question, did you have a stereo installed?

After laying one on its side or back, all you need to do is let it stand upright long enough for any migrated oil to return to the compressor end of it. Nothing really bad will happen if you start it too soon (I’ve always gotten away with a few hours) except it won’t start right and you’ll have to shut it down and let it sit again.

I saw a similar sight in New Delhi, except the scooter carried a family of six and the trailer held a fridge, which housed a family of four.

I was in Seoul South Korea on a Saturday afternoon (stationed in 2nd Infantry Division in 1983) shopping to send cheap knock off tennis shoes et al back to he gang in the states when I saw a guy on a bike with a huge pig strapped to the platform on the back. This pig was really big and what he was doing was feeding him from a large bottle with a rubber nipple on the end……..It had a whitish liquid in it and from experience I recognized it as Sou Jou (sp). It seems the pig was drunk as all hell and headed to a new location…..probably the butcher. I had seen multiple occasions when the Koreans would stack wooden crates of live chickens but never a pig…….

The pig seemed to be having a great time of it. When the guy rode off it took a good 100 feet to get the load steady and headed under full steam. After this I knew I was ready to go back to the states….

This is my 6th try to post on this thread. I have tried from safari and chrome, from my desk top and my ipad. I imagine it has something to do with the recent AOL Yahoo merger (?) into “OATH”, whatever it is. They require “new terms and conditions” agreement which allows them to use your email content to “optimize advertisements”. Yeah right. When you accept the terms it starts what looks like a program to download all your emails – it freezes, or maybe the download/upload never makes any progress, so it seems. This is the only thing different and must be the reason I cannot post on this site.

I returned to Gulf Breeze this last Sunday from Lanark Village on the Forgotten Coast south of Tallahassee. It is redneck central, redneck riviera is a phrase coined by the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper about where the politicians and lobbyists would play out of sight. One traffic light in all of Franklin county. On my way home I traveled through Tate’s Hell State Forest and the Apalachicola National Forest – 45 miles of piney woods, yellow flies and mosquitos. There are more bears than people. We had a family get together in Lanark. Spanked the fish, gag and red grouper, scamp and catch and release the endangered American Red Snapper as the season is closed for them.

Anyway, my ’03 Silverado 2500 HD diesel was losing prime on the fuel pump. At first I could re prime the pump and get going again. But eventually it quit working at all. This after a dozen stops to re prime the pump. Just north of Blountstown, a sleepy two traffic light town I had to call AAA to have the truck towed to Pensacola (200 miles) and ride with my son and his family who were driving home too.

My point is that each time my truck died, someone would stop and ask me if I needed any help. A nice, polite young deputy stopped twice in different locations to check on me. Three men stopped and got out of their car to offer help. One 30ish housewife even stopped and rolled down her window to offer help. I was moved by their kindness and consideration. Good folks there.

So here is what I have tried to post without success. A redneck band plays an anthem. One plays a mean anvil…
