S*** damn it!!

Many years ago I had to swap out the blown engine in my old truck. I already had the new motor hanging on the chain falls in the shop ready to go.

Now in the dead of a Canadian winter I had to get the old truck which was frozen in the muck out behind the shed and moved into the garage. Well that damn truck was good and stuck! It took both my old chev plow truck 4x4 with chains on all 4 wheels and the neighbors tractor to drag it through the field to the garage. All 4 wheels were stuck and the damn thing just dragged! Finally when it was close I unhooked and used the plow truck to push it down the slight incline that lead into my shop. It was still not rolling but I figured I could use the come along to pull it the rest of the way in later, after I got a coffee from the house.

I walk over and just as I open the house door I hear a loud CREAK! I turn just in time to see the damn truck rolling happily on its own right into the open garage and watch the tail of the new motor/tranny going through the windshield!

I just turned around and went in for that coffee.
