It is unfortunate. I don't know if hilarious is the word I would have gone with. He's 95 and not senile by any stretch but a bit impulsive. Amazing how strong he is for his age. He has a big ranch that he gets timber and grazing from. I went with him to his grand-daughter's place where he's fattening up 4 steers for slaughter and watched him pull on rubber boots and wade through the mud to get them some hay. Does it twice a day.

He's alert and witty but the truck decision was not especially prudent. I just hope I can go down and pay cash for a rig when I'm his age.
