Subject: Road Rescue – MUST READ
One of my best friends is a kick ass welder, therefore there is nothing at my house that needs welded. Funny, there is very little he can’t do. Put up a circus sized tent the morning of my wedding . . . in a monsoon ! Fabed custom exhaust manifold spacers for my Camino, Custom traction bars for my five five, a custom bed floor for my 59 pick-up, even fabed up barstools for the HandleBar, a “hang-out” we built in the back of the garage. Well you get the picture, he likes to stay busy.
That’s why it didn’t surprise me that for the 2010 Power Tour he said to me, “I am going to drive my welding rig and give a hand to any of your buddies that need some help.” He made it look so rewarding that I decided to ride shotgun this year and help out with the 50 or so potential Road Rescues that might be in store for him.
Seriously, let me tell you something, he hasn’t had a day off since New Year’s Day so he could do this “Road Rescue” for his vacation this year. That is why it is heartbreaking to tell all you folks that Bull the Rogue Welder will not be going on the 2011 Power Tour this year.
Real life has reared its ugly head and some legal obligations involving the “old” Road Rescue, 6.0 Liter Pig . . . “I mean truck,” have sprung up, and of course his presence is mandatory. I don’t know the details but I think “contempt” means the Power Tour plays second fiddle to this sovereignty.
I can’t imagine what it feels like to have your, well deserved, vacation pulled out from under your feet like this, but I do know, I don’t want to be around his “pissed-off ass” come June 4th.
Bull, I think I can speak for everyone here on BS and say, your kindness and positive attitude has touched us all and this is something we will greatly miss this year. I for one will try to carry on your “Pay it Forward” philosophy and help out anybody I can on the Tour this year. But without you there, I hope I don’t end up muttering “How did I let that damn Bull get me into this SHIT !”
Often serious and sometimes humorous DTB
