I missed that part since my stepson didn't appear till age 16. He calls me Dad now. He's moved out but comes by often, like when his oil needs changing or something else is broken.
He says I'm made an enormous impact on his life. That made me feel good. SWMBO always says the same. At least I know I've done 2 good things so I can take the dirt nap in peace when the time comes. He said he wants the 56 Buick after I die. Geez. I ain't quite ready yet. Don't know if he wants the 55 2 ton. He prolly wants to "pimp" the Buick. I try not to think about that. I want to keep it stock. Where did the grey hair come from? I'll get the Steele rubber for the rear window. The Steele guy told me it's guaranteed for life. Is that my life or the truck's? Getting the old one out is gonna be a bugger. It's REAL dry rotted.
