Selective memory Jon Boy.
What happened is that I was running a little late after getting my morning latte at Starbucks and had to catch up to the caravan headed to the Magdalenas. After I caught up and was in the gunner slot I got on the CB (we were still using primitive comm in those days) and told everyone on that HDC outing that if they would promise (in perpetuity) not to laugh that I would reveal my secret weapon against the nasty briar patch we were about to drive our vehicles into. Everyone including Jon Boy and CruiserDan swore they would never laugh or even chuckle or smile when the secret was revealed. As I remember it, everyone was duly impressed at the ingenuity and the care with which the paint protecting material was applied and how well it performed during initial testing. It was Robbie that started the criticism and subsequent "open season on Mikey" when he commented that the carefully installed paint protection looked like "a used condom." Things went downhill from there.
So much for one man giving another man his word on something important like not ridiculing a friend and fellow HDC member.
