    My brother is a hard luck rancher, and your comment reminds me of him.

    Men like that are not whiners. No matter what you do to bring home the pay, you show up, give an honest day's work and hopefully take home an honest day's pay.

    My dad was like that, and in his lifetime was able to work to raise a family, buy homes, buy his own businesses, and be successful. . . .all on only an 8th grade education.

    It's dang near impossible to be like that today. It's not that the working class men (and women) aren't out there, but in today's corporate world the bottom line of the large companies comes before its employees. It's not easy to find "an honest day's pay."

    Mustang and his truck are definitely something to look up to.

    That was a truly great story. Thanks for posting it Medicine man. It makes me think that that's the kind of driver I want to be.

    Had a chance to see and inspect Joe's truck and trailer today. All I can say is that is one sweet tool. Gave me inspiration to finish my 50 pete. Wonderful craftmanship on the unit.
