Someday I would like to hear the story behind this little mascot. I visit your area every so often so don't be surprised if I show up at one of your rigs and coffee meetups. Family in Killeen
Some old song or something...
Yep, there is that. Still, there's a sordid story.
Oh boy. With the definition of sordid, maybe I don’t want to know…I’ll just leave it with the movie thoughts.

sordid: adjective
Morally degraded: synonym: base.
Dirty or filthy
Squalid or wretched.
Oh, it's not that bad. He's just been my mascot for a couple of decades and started as a "news reporter".

Hauling 900 lbs of early 1900's era brick left over from a demo. Plan to use it for a herringbone platform in front of a shed that I hope to turn into a sauna. There is a wooden deck platform there now that's wet-rotted. Dont want to replace it twice in my lifetime.

Here's the shed last winter:

Let the fun begin.
Phase 1

Correct/finish rear suspension
Gear change with e-lockers front and rear

5 months later, and phase 1 is complete. Now I've got to develop phase 2.
