Why are you reporting this puzzle?

It was not too long after I had headed north of Stanley Idaho that the highway began following the Salmon River. After many miles I passed through the town of Salmon. I then continued on north of Salmon. After I had been following the Salmon River for a little over a hundred miles, I spotted this old truck next to the highway. I looked a little bit like the saying, " It was rode hard and put away wet." I posted another puzzle today with a photo I took that same day of a chrome emblem on a rusted truck. This was not that truck.

Great Helen, we're brother and sister's, by Jigidi!

Hey Terry and Betty!! I graduated in 1969. So, not too different in age! My brother is a retired mechanic. He taught me to do basic work on my cars... you know, spark plugs, oil change, flush the radiator, service transmissions, etc.... wonderful knowledge. He is now 77 and doesn't do much work anymore... but did just finish rebuilding our uncle's pickup.... not sure, but I think it must have been from the from the 1970s!! Happy puzzling, friends!

bjondron, both Sue and I were in the class of '67. Terry

bjondron

That, then, it was back in the 40's & 50's, dear Terry.

Time moved forward, the first 4 kids graduated from 1957 - 1961
the last two of us (sister and I) graduated in 1968 and I, in 1970.

bjondron, So it was your family who created global warming. LOL. Back in the hippie days in the 60's and early 70's there was a saying. It was, "Hey man, lay some bread on me." It meant they were basically begging for money (bread). Sounds like your mom was laying a lot of bread on you. Terry

bjondron

Good Morning!
Our farm house was partially heated by wood. But our furnace also took coal. It never really warmed the entire house. cooking our seals with the use of the oven help. My mom bake 18 loaves of bread a week, at one point.

This one that brings the wood has a hydraulic dump bed. It’s unbelievable watching it! The wood is for our wood stove. Funny!

seagirl7

Coppelia, we used to have a truck with side panels on a hydraulic dump bed. We used it to haul wood for our woodstove. About seven years ago we sold it because all we used it for was to get our wood. Terry

Coppelia7

Thank you, Terry. This truck is interesting to me because one just like it delivers our wood for the winter, piled high, wooden panels and all! 🤗

willey, I admire those folks that can restore a vehicle. I have neither the skills or the patience to do that. Terry

Would be a nice truck to restore. Probably has a 4 speed transmission & a 2 speed rear end. Most of these farm trucks are well maintained & don't get a lot of miles on them

helenpuz, I don't know if I am younger. I started high school in 1963. Terry

helenpuz

Happy to bring you pleasant memories with "granny gear". I was a little taller than you, Terry. You must have been younger than me~ (*&*)

seagirl7

bjondron, Thank you for the story. I bet many of us had similar experiences with old vehicles. That reminded me when I first started driving the family car, I was an even five feet tall. To look out the windshield, I had to peer through the space below the top of the steering wheel and the horn in the center. Terry

seagirl7

helenpuz, I hadn't heard the term "granny gear" for many years. That brought back some memories. Terry

seagirl7

Coppelia, thanks for commenting. I enjoyed reading your bio, Terry

seagirl7

Myhhrmaid, I enjoyed your comment. Sounds like that was a tough job. Thank you so much for sharing, Terry

When I was a hired farmhand I used to drive the old GMC. It was an automatic but I had to drive close to the potato harvester, under the constant flow of dropping potatoes just dug out of the ground. One eye was facing straight ahead, the other in the mirrors to make sure my trucked was under the potatoes. What a hoot! Dust! Oh man. And in the wet years there was the mud to contend with. Hard work, but I loved it. He had an old Ford truck, with the gears you two talk of; I drove that sometimes. But I was the only 'girl' on the crew so the boys would always give me the nicest equipment to drive. There are some things you just can't break through. And I decided to appreciate their gestures; that felt best for all of us.

I couldn't do that work today if I tried! My body has become too fragile. I'm working on appreciating the fragility.❤️

Coppelia7

Wow! @bjondron
Quite an adventure!😬
Thanks seagirl7 for the awesome image!

helenpuz

Nice puzzle, seagirl7! Reminds me of my brother's old red Ford pickup.... Granny gear (1st) was so slow that we had to start in 2nd gear. As a teen, I learned to master skipping 1st altogether! Thanks for the tag, Betty!

bjondron

Thanks for the Memories

When our hired hand or my one sister were busy
and dad needed help feeding the cows in the field at dusk,
he'd had me climb in the passenger side of a truck and off we'd go!
Inside the truck the stick shift grinds as it changes gears
and on my side I sat on empty dusty grain sacks piled high that,
one could wipe off layers of grain dust upon the dashboard.

Putting the truck in creeper gear, my dad opened his door,
stepped on the running board and held the steering wheel til I slid over.
Then, up dad would climb over the rail into the hay loaded bed.
my job was to keep my eye looking straight ahead and steer.
while dad would cut the twine off bales of hay and let drop to the ground.
I always had to sit on the edge of the seat, for my feet barely touched the pedals
so I was always so relieved when dad returned to his seat!
