Krazzy
Crazy is a frame of mind for me. But this kind of crazy is not certifiably dysfunctional. It is more like not being afraid to get knocked down and get back up to try it again crazy. Like a bull rider in a rodeo crazy. You see when it all began I was the runt of the litter. The youngest of a gang of 19 bat shit crazy farm boys. Aunts and Uncles an older brother and cousins. Finding ways to keep up and hold my own was an exercise in futility many times. But occasionally I would come out on top and not get stomped into the Pennsyl-Tucky dirt.
Trukker
Yeah, yeah I know the spellings are goofy. But you see that is just for effect to catch your eye and make you think is this guy crazy or just dumb. Yes I am...
I have always been a "trucker." Even before I was old enough to drive legally I was driving trucks on the farm. I learned to drive on the highways in my fathers pickup truck. A 1971 F150 with three on the tree. (Manual shift 3 speed steering column shifter)
What an awesome old truck that was. 302 V8 with a cherry bomb dual exhaust that would snap, crackle and pop. Shown in this foto below behind the other car I learned to drive very fast in. My older brothers 383 magnum 4 speed 1969 Dodge Super Bee.
This was my first truck. A yellow 1976 F250 that was a mobile welders truck. He used it to go into the off road job sites where they were drilling gas wells. It was beaten up pretty badly from that rough style of work. So I got a good deal on it and fixed it back up.
Man I got to drive some really cool cars in my 58 years on this planet. "Keep on KrazzyTruckin'" is something I like to say often.
Kitty
Cats have always been in my life. They were everywhere growing up on the farm. I never really had a deep appreciation for them until Sammi Jo
came along. You can click on her name if you would like to read some really cool "Cat Tales" about how a simple little rag doll kitten rescued two people who were really lost in life and both in need of a reason to be happy again.
This cat brought happiness back into our lives at a very sad time. Samantha has inspired both @pooky-jax and I to rescue many more animals. I snapped this foto just now as I was typing this. She has been the center of both our worlds for 14 yrs and 2 months.
There are many words I could have chosen to sum up my life. It has been a wild ride. The ride is not over yet. Although I have began to slow my roll and not be so "crazy." I stop to smell the roses and pet the kitty more often these days. As every moment could be our last.
Thanks for stopping by and...
Keep on KrazzyTruckin'
There's always time to smell the roses and pet the kitties... that's where the essence of being alive can be found!

My little friend here would agree. Or maybe it is just 5 minutes till feeding time.
