When I bought my horse this summer, I hadn't really thought thru the
logistics for getting supplies. I never HAD a truck to help with such
errands, but they sure do come in handy when you're picking up
quantities of grain, shavings, and hay. Not to mention lugging around
random fencing materials, which I have been doing quite a bit of. So,
when I was lugging around 5 bales of hay at a time in my car (and making
a mess of the car) these ideas all started to gel, and I thought "how
great would it be if I had a truck?". My neighbor had a truck that he
didn't need, so I offered to get a plate and insure it, in exchange for
using it. I drove it for 3 days and had to get it towed TWICE. Hmmmm.
Ok. Not the truck I want. So...today...I bought an old beater. A
1996 F-150. 8 foot bed, standard shift, plenty of dings in it. I paid
off my car a few weeks ago (yay!), paid for the truck with cash, and
have high hopes for its usefulness. :)
