good news and bad news

[1985 kenworth]

hey everyone i got good news and bad news . first the bad news ..over the weekend i lost one of my tractors from my fleet.the good news is i lost it to my wife barbara .we did the burlington santa claus parade over the weekend and i asked her to dress up a float for me and she did my b-trains .i then asked her to drive it in the parade ..at first she said no and i said you will be fine .so i convinced here to drive one .i decided to give her the smallest tractor of my fleet and i took vegas(which was its maiden run).she was so tickled pink by the crowds cheering her on with a pink truck and complimenting her on her float that she did i told her at the end of it all she could have her very own truck.well it was like she won the lottery.so she is the proud new owner of my pink single axle cabover tractor.here is a pic of our floats in the parade
