Thanks. Thanks to the other guys who offered me one too. I will rummage around some more today. I don't really blame the kid for distracting me. It's just that I was looking forward to finally getting back to the ambulance project, finally got all the stuff I needed to do done for the day, figured the ambulance is in an out-of-the-way spot behind the house so I could work on it without the "help" of friendly neighbors (it's that kind of neighborhood where any time you're doing anything outside, everybody wants to see what's happening) and as soon as I get started here comes this young man who just wants to talk, talk, talk. Of course I know I can't get into any kind of real project that requires any thought because I'll screw it up with somebody watching me and talking at me. I guess I'm just a grumpy old cuss because I prefer to work on things by myself. But I couldn't be too rude to him because after all he really did like old trucks. It's not like he was trying to tell me about some video game or rap CD. Besides, he started the conversation by asking me if I wanted an oil filter he had that said "mopar" on it. It wasn't anything I recognized, and I explained that most of my rigs have cannister-type filters, but it was nice of him to offer. And I figure he must be a good kid if he's visiting his grandma. She's 85 and had 8 kids. One was murdered and one died not that long ago. She doesn't drive any more. The kids had lots of kids too, but there's only two two grandsons who ever visit her. Even her kids don't visit, but the widow of one of the dead sons does. Anyway, on the kid's plus side are the facts that he likes old Dodges and he visits his grandma, and those are more important than him interfering with my afternoon of wrench-turning. Still, if I see him drive up while I'm working, I just go inside and do something else. I always mess something up if I attempt to keep working on anything while I have an audience.
