me and mud
« on: February 18, 2012, 03:40:45 pm »
I'm trying to figure out why it is when I see a nice patch of mud I stop put the truck in 4 wheel drive and get a big smile as I'm bouncing around and sliding a little sideways in soupy mud.  Usually when I go down to the hanger to do anything whether it's the truck, trans am, la mans, or what ever.  I'll start the truck up and run it around down there to keep everything lubed up good and I always end up in that little strip of mud laughing as mud is flying around me.   Any one else have this problem?

I have this problem but it doesn't get much further than just a though because all the places around here, where i smile at the though of getting everything muddy, belong to farmers and i perfer to keep the double-ot buck holes out of my fresh paint.  Stomp a few holes for me next tiem you're around the hanger.

     We have all gone through that phase.  Though I must say, if you do not wash your truck after every joy ride in a few years when your frame starts to rust out you will think back and wish you did. 
     Like I said, most of us has been there, done that.   :D

I think it is a serious addiction that some of us have!  ;D

I'm beginning to think its a country boy thing.  Around here we wear mud on our trucks and suvs like a badge of honor.  Thirsty are we going to start a mud addicts anonymous chapter?

I might have something for that!  ;D

Here is a quote from that said something
"If you go to the store for a six pack and a loaf of bread and you come back with one beer and mud inside the bread bag"  :o
Maybe sometime I can post the rest up in the 4x4 addiction thread.

Why do I get the feeling my buddy that's going to help me out by put my rockers on is going to give me a welding lesson when he sees the mud on the truck right now.
