That reminds me of something that happened many years ago.The first mason I ever worked with,besides my Dad,,was my dads friend Bill. Bill was a really good stone mason and any kind of masonry.I Learned a lot from him.But...I must say Bill was very unique.It was about 1974.Bill had purchased a 1952 Ford half ton pickup from the back lot of a car dealer.It was a little red truck with a factory rack flatbed on it.It had lettering of a sheet metal shop on the doors ,with phone numbers etc.Bill drove it and used it for work each day.Bill also raised some hogs in a patch of woods at the family farm.He picked up scraps,and a barrel or two of slop at the diner,or crates of lettuce scraps etc,,wherever he found them along his travels.Sometimes it would spill over,or get strewn in the back of the truck,,amognst,loose bricks,maybe a bucket of sand,half bag of cement,tools,etc..etc,,You may kind of picture the back of his little flatbed,,especially on a hot day,,lol/ One day we stopped a the lumber yard for something.I noticed a new pickup next to us in the parking lot,with the Same advertising as Bills little old truck.I stayed in the cab while Bill went in and got what he needed. Bill always had a good sense of humor.He came out ,got in the little red truck and off we went.He then pointed to the new pickup,,he said,,can you imagine that?That guy asked me could he please paint over the name on our truck...doesnt he like free advertisement? lol
