Dealer's Photo of the New Two Mile Ranch Pickup
Since I sold my 1989 Ford pickup (the title read “Brown” for the color, but each sheet metal panel was a different shade of red), I’ve been looking for a “thousand dollar pickup” for Two Mile. I wanted 4 wheel drive because the few times I would need it, I would NEED it. I casually looked off and on, and began to get more serious this summer…..but in my unscientific research, cash-for-clunkers has pretty much taken those trucks off the market.
The few that remain are now $2000 and $3000. So I traded my car for a 2002 Ford F150. All of which is good timing as I prepare for the duck road trip tomorrow.
My friends Kwatch and Ev found the house of their dreams, but one of the results is they need to thin their herd of ducks. After swapping emails for a few months on any number of topics, when they told me of their opportunity, I quickly agreed to give some of the ducks a new home here with the Cayugas.
So for a Sunday drive, we’re each driving a rediculous number of hours to meet at a secret undisclosed location to trade the ducks and have a quick lunch and meet and greet.
(Note to readers: some of you are nodding and saying “of course” and others are shaking your heads and saying “wtf?” Well, yes, you are both right. What I wrote to them when they asked “are you sure you want to do this?” is:
… sometimes there are just certain people you trust and certain things you do because it’s the right thing to do. Somehow in the big picture of life, this is just the right thing to do.
