My dads old truck hasn't been driven for quite a while. Its a 1994 F150 with a 300 inline 6. Both fuel pumps were bad "dual tank" its taken me about 4 days to complete the job do to other things popping up. I opted to remove the bed since both pumps were bad....without going into useless detail about the truck it all came down to this. I finished the job sweating to death and get to see a smile 10 miles wide on my old mans face. My Dad is my hero and the greatest man I have ever known in my life. I never knew until about 2 years ago when my parent house burnt and I came home on leave from the Marines to help them get everything in line. I was going through papers and found out the had two Bronze Stars and Three Purple Hearts from Vietnam. My dad is very soft spoken with the crystal clear blue eyes. Before I could even read the Warrants he pulled them from my hands and wouldn't tell me how they were earned. His life will end soon do to health reasons if he lasts another year well all be surprised.
Sitting on the porch looking over the toes of my work boots.....20 MPH wind with the wheat and big oaks blowing in the wind drinking an ice cold root beer....taxes are paid and the job is done....my 7 year old giggling at the millions of locust that are visiting us and my beautiful wife there every step of the way.....I still get swollen up inside with pride when my dad looks me in the eye with a hand on my shoulder and tells me good job boy thank you. Just a good day.
