RED

We left Chuck's truck in Florida and had planned on him going back to get it when it was time to pull the camaro to Alabama. Wellllllllll....since we have been living in the " mud" for the past five months, we decided we really need a 4 x 4 truck. Ryan is going to try and sell the truck in Florida and we have been looking for another one up here. Last week, Chuck saw an ad in the small home town paper for a 1998 pick up. We called the guy and went out the next day to see it. Come to find out, the four wheel drive gear was broken on it and that was the purpose of us buying another truck. On St. Patrick's day, we headed to town to run some errands, like to the post office and the library. Well, the post office is next to the local Ford Dealer and we pulled into their "used car lot" and there was " RED". A pretty, 4 x 4 pick up truck and even newer than the explorer. ( 2004) Of course the " used salesman" came a running! lol. We drove it around a couple of the streets in town and fell in love with it. Got a price on it, which was waaaaaay over what we had planned on paying for a truck. We told the guy we would " think " about it and get back with him. It only took a trip to Walmart for some shopping and some talking about it and we decided we would buy it. We really need another dependable vehicle and this would probably be the last truck we would have to ever buy. Right from Walmart....we went back and bought the truck. It was a scary thing to do but we both feel we did the right thing. Sure hope the "stock market" does well in the next couple of months...LOL. Any ways......his name was going to be " Big Red" but that is the name of Mac's big red truck in Cecil and our truck isn't near as big as his...so Chuck says his name has to be just " RED".
