if he runs out of material (which seems doubtful ), someone just needs to buy a cruiser and have him deliver it for them.
Good idea...I know of an old 40 in the south west I'd like to have...but my budget just isn't ready......one day...

fireflyr said:I always mourn the end of a good book. Holding a book in your hands and anticipating that last page is always a bit of a sad event for me. Not so with this read. It feels good that it MAY go on indefinately (and the back cover isn't visible in my computer). When you run out of experiences please start making $hit up. I don't care, I just don't want to see

Great thread! I agree with all the comments that this would make a great book, better than Who needs a road, and probably appealing to more than just the cruiser crowd.
....if you only knew how much is between here and where he is going. Let's just put it this way, we're part of the way through the first adventure leading to the rust bucket ... and there are two more cross country 40 trips before it enters the picture
I do wonder about the potential audience, beyond the Cruiser community I mean.

Not only is Army a man of few words. When he decides a conversation is over, it's over.
In my family we never threw food away. One of Army's rules that I've never forgotten. Take all you want but if you take it, you eat it.
My dad had the exact same rule! It still hampers my diet in restaurants and my weight to this day. What growing up in the Great Depression will do to you I guess.
Me: "I will, and...."

I've noticed these FJ40's seem to strike a chord in alot of people. They bring back memories of loved ones long gone, of camping and fishing trips and have a mystique of being able to handle anything the wilds of Africa, Alaska or Arizona can dish out.

My Grandfather, who was born in 1919, had a similar rule: 'Take all you want but eat all you take'. I still live by it today and it drives my wife mad....
...my dad... has never muttered the word "goodby" in conclusion of a telephone conversation with anyone....I don't have the answer but I have never let it bug me. In fact as I ripen in my middle ages I get quite a kick out of it.
You have something unique going here; I think the only decision you need to make is who is going to play you and Army in the movie version.
You're probably correct about this being a generational thing. My Dad says it goes back to the Great Depression and never having enough to eat, or often having nothing at all to eat. FWIW I have the same ongoing argument with my wife about cleaning my plate. Old habits die hard, or sometimes not at all.
Good Morning Gentlemen. Just thinking out loud here as I gear up to write another chapter. One of my Austin Cruiserhead friends recently commented that the level of coincidence in this tale is so huge that it seems unbelievable. I agree, it does border on the unbelievable. That's how I felt throughout the entire road trip, and looking back it still seems like a fairy tale. My background is military, followed by a second career in medical research. In my world, facts are what you learn to hang your hat on, and there's no place for hocus-pocus or weird Twilight Zone occurrences. This experience was enough to give me second thoughts. I'd never have guessed that Uncle Meldon's new old truck would be pure magic.
On a tech note .. Has anyone noticed the needs a little more salt????
I tune in every day for another story.
Thanks
