“When I take the time and think about that day, I am amazed. I did crazy, wild stuff all the time. Three days prior, I flipped my dirt bike on the road with no helmet and then I got up and did it again,” Blake remembered. But along came July 8, 2007. A Sunday afternoon found five buddies working on an old truck to get it roadworthy so Blake could take that to and from his corral cleaning job. His new truck was way too nice for that. After many days and hours of working on this truck, today was the day to take it out on the road. The thing just would not start. So what do you do? Wait til Monday until you can take it to a mechanic or get more parts? Nope. Like most of you farm boys reading this, you pull start that thing and get it running. At least with it running, you can test everything else and maybe see what is going on.
