Question for those of you who know Monty and Clay

Just a test to see how well you know my sons. I'm going to tell you two stories, you tell me who the story is about.

One day when he was about 3 years old (?) was playing at the park. He had a favorite toy a yellow duck on wheels that he loved to ride on. This was in the days when you could let your kids out of your site without worrying. We living in a family housing development and everyone looked out of all the kids. Anyway I degress. There was a tall slide in the park for the children. I'm 5'2" and could not reach to the top of it standing on tip toe. (?) hauled that duck to the top of the slide and rode it down. When he hit the bottom the duck went one way and he went flying. He still thinks that the ride was great it was just the landing that almost killed him.

One day when he was about 6 years old (?) was riding his bike around and around the crescent with his friend. One brain said to the other: "I've ridden around this block so many times that I bet I could do it with my eye's closed." The bet was on. He says he made it almost all the way before he rode his bike smack dab into the back of a parked truck. (hint he still has a scar somewhere on his body).

Let me know which one your think was the biker and which one rode the duck.

My first real post

Well here it goes. First post. Thanks to Monty for the information on how to actually do this. What would I do without my kids.

Well should I deal with stupid people today or just fill you in on our lives.

Stupid people are my choice. Today in 4 hours at work I have had 3 people who called wanting repairs for their vehicles who qualify in the Stupid People catagory. That's what we do but come on people!!!!!! you have to give me a clue as to what part you need, and what kind of vehicle you have. I really get sick of customers getting upset with me when I tell them I can't help them unless they can tell me year make and model as well as what they actually want. Is that too much to ask. I just can't work with "I have an old truck and need that part that helps it run".

The second kind of customer that really gets to me are the ones who are upset because I don't know off the top of my head if I have a certain part. Hello. We have 1200+ vehicles out back and they think I should have it memorized what ones are there and what parts are remaining on each one?

6 years till retirement and I leave all this b.s. behind.
