Yes it was. It was as you see it when I bought it. I wish I had stayed out there. I probably would have migrated to Colorado since not much was happening around Flagstaff at the time. I came back when telephones were deregulated to get into that with a friend who started a business. I figured learn that and bounce back west with a skill in a stable industry (remember those?) where I still worked with my hands and could find work anywhere. That was a blunder and meanwhile I met Ms Wrong and married her (
). We talked about moving west but turns out that was me more than her. She's "Daytona *****" now and I stayed right here to raise my son. Florida? Go figure. Ah, life. Ain't it grand? I'll never get the west out of my blood. I can still smell the Pondarosa needles on the ground in the hot sun. I hope to live it one day.
I know I can always come to you to stop my head spinning with truck industry flavor of the week migrations. My brother-in-law had an L-body Mercedes powered Sterling tandem dump. I forget what day it was built
