Subject: [tcb] '56 bus
So, I took Murray and went to Sam's Club to get
huge bags of grass seed for the Psycobilly parking/camping area. As I am coming
out, one of the two super old guys who check your receipt to make sure that
you don't have a 60" plasma under the tomatoes says, "Are you a mechanic?"
I'm thinking, what about me would provoke such a
question, and I say, "Why?" He says, "We are trying to figure out
how to convert a 1950 tractor from 6 volt to 8". Putting aside the fact that I
have never heard of 8 volt anything, I suggested that there were probably about
a million antique tractor guys on the internet. They both looked at me as if I
had spoken Navajo. I said go to a library and they would do the search for
him.
I loaded up Murray and as I was leaving the parking
lot I drove by the door and one of the guys waves at me to stop. I do. He says,
"I have one of these". I say really? "Yeah, It's older though, and not as
nice."
He tells me that it is a '56. I asked him if it has
an overhang over the windshield. "No, and it also has a bigger door in the back,
over the engine door. It has a little bitty engine".
Of course, my next question was, "Wanna sell
it?"
"No."
I know his name and I know where he works. If I can
find out where he lives and where his bus is. I might have to kill
him.
