Re: 9" rear in a jailbar truck
Her moving up onto Mt. Pickett with me was getting out of the boonies for her. Born and raised on Vashon Island which has two ferry routes serving it and is near to Seattle, she moved to Crane Island off of Orcas, which has no ferry service. She had a 14' aluminum skiff with a 15 hp for commuting. Once she even swam a mule across, tethered to the skiff while she rowed as the motor spooked it. A series of moves and some misfortune along the way, but she has always perservered and takes the high and happy road. Although Pickett's lane isn't paved, it suits us both very well. She's a keeper for sure. And yes the poor thing has to put up with this old greaser, and that is NOT always easy!
