That's a scream! The military uses the same type of logic and 'splanation in their STD videos for soldiers. Lotta confused farm boys after those films.

So a fellow had a question about his hitch setup over on the Airstream Addicts Facebook page, and I go out to the parking lot to take a picture of mine for him... and there's a motorcycle sitting where I always park my truck. You'd think I would remember riding my bike in to work. I'm standing there staring at my own bike thinking, "Where's my truck?" If y'all see me wandering around the CanOpener rally without pants, you'll know why...

Used to drive the Interstate to work when I owned it. Did this for a couple years. One day for some reason I drove my wife's Eclypse and after a long tiring day of work I walked out to the parking and forgot that I drove the car. After a long minute Of absolute panic walking repidly around the parking lot I realized my mistake. Getting old sucks.

I thought I saw your truck in the parking garage at the university of Florida. The trailer was still attached. It's a little lower now because of the clearance.

This thread has been very quiet for a long time.
Folks have been playing elsewhere.

Red: on second look, never mind. I think it is my truck, unless it is my wife's Miata. I get so confused late in the day . . . .

I painted a big ol' gator on it... You can barely even tell where the parking garage got it. They really ought to make those things a snoodge higher.

The later in the day it gets, the more confuseder I am... Not sure why that is.

I have been waiting in the parking garage with adult beverages and a limbo stick for two days. When are you guys showing up? Can you bring some pancakes?
