A Truck for My Inner Child
When I was about five years old, my cousins and I were fascinated with trucks. They were not just any trucks, mind you. We could care less about the mail truck or the truck Grandpa drove around. What we were interested in was the trucks that were the real life versions of our toys. We all wanted a pick old dump truck, or some other type of very large utility truck that would be completely unrealistic for our families to actually own.
A few months ago, I drove past something on the side of the road that made me stop. It was raining out, so it may have been foolish of me. When I say “rain,” I meant that that it was raining sideways and with the intensity of a five year old throwing a baseball point blank at your stomach or knee. What did I stop for? Someone had a big old troop transport for sale. It must have been army surplus. Immediately, my mind started to justify the purchase. Maybe I could use it in a parade. The local Rotary Club could build a float right on top of the back. Wouldn’t that be interesting?
Of course, reality set in. It wasn’t a practical purchase at all. However, I did later stumble across a website where you could buy a used cable trailer or even a bucket truck. I think I could really use a bucket truck. Cats get stuck in trees all the time around here. I could offer a very exclusive service where I would show up to get them. It would sure save the fire department a lot of time because they could deal with fires instead of a cat. Most cats can get down anyways. They just don’t want to get down and this vexes the owners very much. That is another subject for another day.
If you are out to fulfill the fantasy of your inner child, or in real life you actually need a work truck, you should check out Alasher.com and see what they have.
