One of the guys I used to work with had an old Dodge pickup. He drove in to work from his ranch 90 miles away. He was there on time, every day, good weather or bad.

One of his best friends owned a propane delivery business. He only delivered to customers when they placed an order for a certain amount. Often they had ordered more than their tank could hold, so he charged them for the full delivery, and kept the rest. He would sell that extra to my co-worker for a discount super low price.

He converted his Dodge to run on propane, and it burns real clean. He could get the engines to go 350,000 miles before it needed a rebuild. He did not remember if he had 800,000 or 900,000 miles on the truck and the odometer had turned over so many times it did not matter much. It was not a pretty truck, but it got him to and from work every day.

It was funny to see other employees come in an hour late when the winter weather hit. And of course Darrel and I both, was there ever day on time or early and did more work than two of the others. I only had a 15 mile drive, so it was easy.
