One of life's little experiences I will thoroughly enjoy telling the rest of my life. The story of Swampratt I remember when I had about 4 tons of river rock I was a givin away fer free ta th first person ta come and git it. Well now I had strung out 2 X 12 boards on the ground because we had just had a little snow and it was still a bit soggy soes a big ol 3/4 ton pickup could drive inta th back yard real easy like and then we could throw rocks inna back end and then drive right out just cleaner than all getout.

Ol Swampratt told me his truck was broke down and he had this or a Geo Metro and didn't want to bring that cause he didn't want to break his seats. Thinking to myself, he's gonna make a few trips to get alla this rock I asked him are you planning on gettin it all or taking a lot of trips?
