I grew up in western Pennsylvania where football is a religion in the background smoke stacks of steel mills as we played high school football all of our fathers worked and provided for their families in those union mills back then after high school my plan was to go work after my enlistment was over in 87. And go into the industrial electrician apprenticeship as my father was industrial electrician. I remember the mill when they donated cash so we could get lights. And we then played our first of many evening games that was maybe 1981.
Our sons friend grabbed the bagel bag and at least 12 bagels hit the floor. So three dogs a chocolate lab golden retriever and a Newfie. Pushed us on their running game and our 4-4 D could not hold them. Boog the chocolate lab pulled a Rob Newhouse my childhood hero. Coming at us gonna bull through and get in that end zone full of bagels.
So this morning our one son and dad hit the pull up and dip bar this morning on back porch. Pushups and leg lifts mountain climbers jump rope. Then we decide bagels for breakfast yup that went sideways. All three dudes are excited they hitting the showers because were getting a 99 Toyota 4 runner this morning. Only 82000 miles I am buying it off a retired union road driver I worked with for years and he took care of this vehicle. And Japanese vehicles last my old 98 pathfinder got junked couple years ago with over three hundred thousand on odometer it could not pass inspection the body was rusted out.
And I am gonna let mister drive it as he passed his driving test. And we trust them all their fine young men they have sound judgment. So the guys now officially are no longer school bus commuters Monday they will riding to high school. Anyway on back porch because it takes forever for these three to triple s express. I was same at that age but then fort benning infantry osut taught me motivation finally I can now shower I told them. Fellas hold off will a hit the diner for breakfast then go do the 4 runner.
What an exciting day! A 4 runner to drive to school! Your guys must be beside themselves with excitement! And congratulations to Son for passing his drivers test! I can still remember the first time I drove a car all by myself. It was certainly a big deal then and Im sure it still is for your son. O happy day!
