Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!

He can sure be critical when it comes to these truck parts. Looks like an awful good cab to me. that rust can happen just from sitting in one spot too long. My how he has become quite the expert in such little time. If you take him to town and people ask, "Who's your chicken?", you'll have to reply, "No, he's not a native. He's visiting from the Evergreen State".

Well, in appreciation of our honorable chicken, the town rolled out the red carpet to make him feel welcome. He thought "home of the flying chicken hawks" would better than jets

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!

She thinks the outfit she has him in will improve his image- I just think he'll be confused which bathroom to use the next time we're out. Tomorrow night will be his last night with us, moving on Friday morning. Thanks for checking in

Monroe even enjoys a little off-roading! Hope PETA doesn't come after me for not having a helmet on Monroe. Tomorrow he's off to KS- it's been fun!

Looks like he had a great time with your daughter. At least I can't see any change in his expression with the new duds. On the road again...

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!

After being cooped up in that box all weekend en route from Indiana to Kansas, Monroe was a tired and stiff. He decided to take it easy tonight and watch TV with Grandma.

Re: Son of Trucks are for Chickens ... Its on!

I was going to take Monroe to work with me this morning, but the little bugger wouldn't wake up. Probably sat around most of the day watching more TV and smokin cigarettes with Grandma. I hope he doesn't get hooked.

But when I got home, I found him just hanging out in the garage leaning up against the tool box staring at my truck.



He was pretty disappointed that we can't take it for ride, so I let him sit behind the wheel for a while.



Tonight's it's early to bed because he's going to work with me like it or not. I've got a surprise planned for lunch!
