Need some help from someone. Not usually one to ask for help, fairly self-sufficient, but I have been perplexed for quite some time. You see, as some of you know, I grew up in Kentucky but now reside in Aspen, CO. Live up on the side of the hill with the other crazies, we shoot at each other on occasion. Yet that is another story. Feeling fairly frisky of late, recently marrying a beautiful young lady, she has sparked my interest in other things besides automatic weapons.
Back to the dilemma. For a couple decades now, I see this damn blue truck driving around town and I must know what it is and from where it came. I see it occasionally while in town though it disappears for weeks at a time. Always seems to be changing in appearance as well, nothing major, just slight modifications. Recently, bead locks were added with some pretty good size meats. It says Power Wagon on the hood, but growing up in Kentucky, know better than that. Being a betting man, my money says that is no flathead under the hood.
Speaking to the few natives of this town, they say the owner is a doctor, crusty ole fella, a head surgeon maybe. They say I should talk to Bob, he has been known to be very helpful, and I would have to agree with that. Anyone else have any useful info?
By the way, little tip to you other betting men out there, bet the Spurs, like I have said since April. That is unless Duncan gets run over by a cheesy H2. Never bet against the dark side.
