at St Augustine when dad had a Ford truck we went to deliver tires to a farmer there when that Ford truck broke down Dad and I had to walk 10 miles back to a gas station, once walking beside the the road Dad told me to walk on his right side Dad was walking in the grass on the shoulder Dad said its safer to walk here at that time a truck driving ran his tires on the white line.
another time a few years back around 2010 I was whith dad coming back with a large load of tires and a small van passed right in front of us, was so close I could not see the vehicle was blocked by the hood of the truck, Dad toss the truck right a bit and by the grace of God we did not hit.
ontime as a kid with Dad , Dad would sing songs on the truck and I was starting to fall asleep Dad incorporated into his song " oh Matthew is falling asleep he's getting tired "
another time Dad was making a cookout outside it was in summer was about a100 out next to the cooker about 10 feet was a wooden table the fire from the cooker was so hot it catch the table on fire.
Dad always fixing his axle on his trailer or replacing tires.
