Rewind: Adventure on I-15

This is a bit of backtracking to Thanksgiving. When we broke down on the 15 and had to be towed, it turned into a bit of a tow truck/amiable dirtbag convention. In this picture, you can see the Excursion loaded onto one truck, the trailer hooked up to another, another one just hanging out for good measure, and the white pickup barely visible behind the trailer was also from the tow company, for good measure.

While standing around on the side of the road waiting for the hour (at least) for them to get this all figured out, Jake began to amuse himself by kicking things. One thing he kicked ws a bag of poop. Yes, that is what I said...a bag of poop. Rather fresh in fact. It splattered up him well enough that we were all completely grossed out, and had to change him and seal the offending pants in plastic as well as possible. I never thought I would have to tell my kid "No kicking strange poop," but apparently I should have thought of it earlier.

At least somebody was having fun!
Jake's first tow truck drive. He looks happy.

OH MY GOODNESS!! LOL!!! In particular that pic of the "guys" having fun is hysterical! - I doubt they ever had some anonymous Calif. blogger needing something different to post take their pics before ;-)GOOD job there, HB!

Jakey's smile spoke volumes - yet another piece of moving equipment to record in his lifes loves :-). Maybe he'll decide to be a tow trucker instead of a garbage truck operater - Hummm!

Ewwwww re that exploded bag of poop! In fact, yes, actually GAAAG! Wonder how much kicking he'll do now? - That would stop me COLD! - And to think that he might have been a budding, walk-on college football kicker in the making! - Genetically speaking of course! :-) mc

PS! Hey, Darc & Nath - enlarge that 1st pic & look closely - doesn't it look like the 2 red shirt workers are about to do an "alemand (sp?) left"?! It is ALMOST the same desert area where one happened to occur many years past, isn't it? Maybe its in the AIR there! ;-) Mom
