Every now and again you buy something you really enjoy, but don't realize how much until it is gone.

After I sold my old Dodge WC last year our yard seemed so empty. Over that past year during the long summer months, the grass started to re-grow where the old truck used to sit quietly. It was gone now so I tried to put it out of my mind, but it would creep back into my thoughts every now and again with a certain smell or sound. Or when my super friendly neighbor would walk his dog past our house out on the dirt road and ask "How is that old Dodge truck doing?".

"I sold it." would be my response. Feeling like I had just shot my best friend, and now admitting it in public for the first time. He was a kind older man, but I swear he had the worst memory, as he would ask me about the truck every time he and the dog walked by and saw me in front of the garage.

Then during the winter I got the email. "Not doing anything with that truck you sold me, want to by it back?" How do I say "hell yes" without sounding to eager? Not easily, he knew I wanted it back. I gave him the full asking price back and he kept some parts that came in the original deal. He told me that when I come to pick it up, I would probably need to winch it on the trailer, as he wasn't able to start it last November.

When I showed up with the trailer, I primed the fuel pump a little, pulled the choke and turned her over. She moaned some and then fired up. Sounded so good to hear that whine of the fan blade again. Pretty sure that old truck wanted to come home with me.

Warmed the engine up a little then drove her right on the trailer. Woo-hoo!

Lesson, don't sell your favorite toys!
