What's his name, is here at last! I'm beyond excited that he is residing here. We haven't known each other all that long, but he seems to be enjoying our time together. There have been a few dust ups between us, as is to be expected when working the kinks out of a new relationship. Thank goodness, he's all ranch country, with the scars to prove it, I might add.
On another note, the nasturtiums are taking over the patio. Started from a few old seeds I found in one of my seed stashes, I was not at all sure they were still viable. But, we have had perfect weather for them this spring. Dad doesn't think much of them for taste, but I like'm just fine.
Back to What's his name...
I got him home the other day! He was a very good bargain that needed a few repairs, which a mechanic friend did for cost of parts. Thank God for friends.
After a good scrubbing, a bottle of 303, some navel jelly, and a new tranny, we are good to go!
I may have gone a little bit loco like when he got home because a friend said, "I have never seen someone so damn happy to have a beater pickup to haul stuff to the damn dump."

Actually, he's perfect for towing Dad's boat Ol Ugly, hauling my sea kayak, and taking brush to the recycle. Plus, he can heat things up, or cool them down, and he loves classical and a bit o country music. It's all good!
All he needs is a name, any suggestions?
Popemobile?
ReplyDeleteYay know he is pack'n a rosary, as well as a few other armaments, but no. Please try again!
DeleteHow about Amos? It means bearer of burdens.
ReplyDeleteOoooooooh. That's good. But I'd vote for something Irish, maybe with a reference to a classic movie. Like Sean, or Thornton, or Fitz, or Oge Flynn, or Feeney, or Molouney, or Costello, or Dermot, or Musha, or Trooper. I'm sure you know which movie I'm talking about. The director was John Ford, of course, which is appropriate, since your new friend is a Ford.
DeleteAlmost forgot Michaeline! As in Michaeline Oge Flynn. Named after the angel who keeps you safe on those long hauls up those dirt roads. Truck is white, like an angel, after all.
DeleteAdrienne, Interesting but I thing of Amos as being dark.
DeleteBeautiful flowers, BTW! And beautiful truck, too. I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteGrunt,
DeleteWow you really came up with some names. I can't use Sean, that is my son's name. The others are in the running, Thanks!
I thought I was getting in on a late life romance...oh well, a pickup truck. IT could be worse. The name will come to you if he breaks down half-way to your destination. The flowers are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteTabor,
DeleteYou are getting in on a romance, just with a pickup! He's not going to break down on me if I can help it.
Thanks, the flowers are tasty too.
Ralph...LOL
ReplyDeleteOld NFO,
DeleteLOL, I'm thinking he could be a Ralph! YeeHaw
Nice truck have a few Ford trucks on the ranch too(-: They are good for whatever you need done(-:
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are totally awesome! And to imagine they grew that big from a seed. (-:
CiNdEe,
DeleteThanks, I hope to have a long term relationship with him.
Re flowers, I was surprised, usually I have trouble growing them here.
Buzz? Short for Berserker?
ReplyDeleteLL,
DeleteBuzz is my brother's nickname, and he likely doesn't even know the meaning of the word Berserker. Please keep trying...lol Don't you name your vehicles?
How 'bout: "Bronco Billy"? Love the flowers!
ReplyDeleteChickenmom,
DeleteA little too long, but still a good one. Thanks for stopping by.
Having owned many Ford F150's myself, if you just want a beater to haul crap to the dump, no better unit is available at any price.
ReplyDeleteSince it's an ancient Ford, how about calling it 'Hank?' Get it? Henry Ford, Hank? Oh, never mind....
Fredd,
DeleteWe have owned a few Ford F250 pick'm ups and they have always served us well.
Though I'm not interested in selling him, just yesterday was offered twice what I have into him.
Good one for the name, I like that!
Aww, I was thinking romantic fellow also and was thinking that your Dad would finally quit trying to fix you up. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI once named a beater truck "Tank" to give it a power image.
A Patti,
DeleteI didn't realize there were so many concerned about dad finding me a steady guy. LOL
Hmmm...that's an interesting name suggestion, thanks.
My '79 Ford 150 is named "Rob" by my granddaughter. My 2008 Chevy Colorado is named Zippy. I can't thing of suggestions for you because I am too easily influenced by others. Love Arkansas Patti's suggestion "Tank" and Chickenmom's "Bronco Billy". If I have a huge brain fart I will return.
ReplyDeleteGranny Annie,
DeleteI never ever thought I would be waiting for you to fart!
Not having a PC bone in my body, how about "Whitey".
ReplyDeleteOdie,
DeleteThank goodness you don't!
We've had two Whitey's so that one has been used, thanks!
Seamus ( pronounced Shamus)
ReplyDeleteGood solid Irish name, not to mention the name of one of Ireland's greatest poets...Seamus Heaney
Cheri,
DeleteGood one!
I'm going for a bit more country,
what with all the gunny, hooey stickers...
