Givin' Up


It has been said that "When you are beat, meet defeat". Well, that seems to be the situation here with The Fuzz and his little truck. This has gone on far too long. Indicators point to at least 2 possible causes for this frustrating case of equipment failure, And neither can be verified for certain. Both are expensive to replace. And both have been replaced in the past. Considering the age of the truck, and the improbability of success, The Fuzz refuses to continue this pointless pursuit. He confesses that he is not happy about this, but we have been managing to get by with out the sorry little thing anyway.
We have this little automobile, it is capable of pulling our little trailer, and as The Fuzz would say, "It don't use much gas". When it's not raining, The Fuzz rides the motorcycle in to work. If it is, we can all ride together in the car. And so, life goes on.
The Fuzz had toyed with the idea of pulling the engine, and replacing it with some simple, non-computerized sort of engine, like we used to have back in the days. But it seems that the legalities involved in this would send him to jail. He does not like jail. But we should look at all this as another oportunity to simplify, I suppose. And that can be a good thing.
