Lease story from around 20 years ago

Man those were some wild times. I was just a baby faced kid. You remember that time we were running out to Elk City Oklahoma? We were coming through Memphis hammered down. About 2 clicks from the river we made contact. You were dodging bubbles and donks while I was lighting them boxes up. We had the hustle and flow soundtrack playing on a PA system wired to a cobra 25.

We could just see the top of the pyramid as we crested the hill. We could tell they had the river bridge barricaded with piggly wiggle trucks. I didn’t know how we were going to get out of there.

But I forgot my buddy @High Stepper used to coach JJ da boss in wiffle ball. JJ couldn’t have been more than 14 at the time, but his momma had a mint Buick grand national, even then that boy could race.

Anyhow ol’ stepper cut the wheel and with JJ running the front door we made it to president’s island where a barge carried us over to west Memphis. I think we lost about 20 minutes which we had done made up before we got to lone oak.

 

Yes I do. A few weeks later we were on the Muskogee turnpike and the turbo siezed. You yanked the downpipe off the exhaust cause we were on a schedule. I remember you hooked up a cordless ratchet and several extensions, drilled a hole in the firewall and started spinning the turbo from the passenger seat.
Everything was going good til you swapped out to a 20 volt lithium pack and overboosted, I'm getting sideways at 80 mph trying to watch for potential ambushes while shotgunning krystals.

There was a shortage on 104mm borg warners so we went to harbor freight and bought a bunch of battery packs for the time being, pharmaceutical loads have a zero tolerance policy for being late.

It wasn't long after that @HoundDog7 met us and wired up a remote to control the minigun. That ammo write off is what saved me from paying in a lot of taxes some years.

 

@HoundDog7 was a mechanical genius. Every time we had a big run and was over due on maintenance we’d break him out of the mental hospital. He rebuilt that KT on a run from Miami to oak island. We didn’t even have to stop. Just had to keep the rpm’s below 1800 while he torqued the head bolts.

 

We had some good times. I still have an old picture of my service truck from back then. I remember @Jubal Early Times broke down on some dirt road in Utah avoiding the DOT and lost a transmission. If it hadn't been for that ex M.S Carriers cabover freightliner you were running at the time, my truck crane would have basically been useless.
