Yankee in a Rut

Unfortunately, the pictures did not come out very good (I had to photoshop this one just so it would show up at all), but there were still 3 eye witnesses to the events that played out late in the afternoon on Friday December 15, 2006. The story isn't unlike thousands of others: Yankee gets his Ford (Powerstroke Diesel F-350 1 ton crew cab, mind you) stuck in some thick mud & mire; 2 southern country boys come along with a Chevy (Silverado 1500 extended cab, mind you) and a little common sense to pull him out. I believe when the above picture was taken the Yankee in question was lamenting the fact that a Chevy was about to get his ass out of a bind and going on about all the Dodge and Chevy trucks he has pulled out over the years and other fruitless commentary that is often made by a man when he is at the end of his rope, or in this case, tow strap.


Long story short, the little Chevy pried the mighty Ford from the cursed mud with a few well-timed and well-positioned lurches. Admittedly, the Yank's powerstroke was stuck and stuck deep, heck, I even had to put my Silverado in 4-wheel drive! Like I said, the before pictures didn't come out too well, but the pictures of the aftermath tell the story well enough. Below, you can see the conquering hero in the background and the muddy maiden in front.



Peace.
