    Ya know, that seems like the description of the engine @wore out had in the truck he wrecked. Maybe not quite, but similar.
    Was talk of competing haulers #####in about that 'boat engine". Could have been...:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    My Dad was this way , never got rid of anything. It used to drive me nuts but I would stop and think about him living through the depression. I understand at a time like that you didn't just go out and buy something you made do with what you had.
    I'm almost as bad as he was now. I go through my garage and a little building out back and haul off a pickup load once a year.

    I remember finding a can of bent nails in great granddads shed. I thought why on earth is he saving these. Later on I understood. He and Grandma had three (3) little kids when the depression started.
