WLYS: 24 Hours Out!

August 06, 2008

We're a "man down," and the rubber hasn't even hit the road yet!I spoke with dad early this morning, and he had this to say, "I can't go, buddy. Doc's orders. My numbers are still a little off, and will be back to normal soon." Dad had a rough week last week, and still needs some time to get his plumbing figured out. Last thing I want to do is put the old man in jeopardy out there on the route. As hard as it is to hear it, this is the right call.Dad had a bunch of other shit to add to the big call, to lift my spirits some,"I was in the doc's office this morning getting checked out. Then they had to weigh me. Shit, they had to take me down to the grain elevator. They hoisted me up and everything. 134 pounds, on the dot.""I was looking forward to ferreting out a bunch of shit I didn't need.""Just can't take the chance, kid. Feeling a little off the last couple weeks.""I've been practicing, too. I have a strategy. Not sharing it with you assholes, either.""And hey, don't worry. There's a lot of miles left in those old Polack. ""Other than that, everything is cool. I'll keep honing my skills."You'll be missed out there, dad. See you on Tuesday night, Lord of the Open Road willing.- - - -CREW UPDATE:Draplin? Check.Evan? 'Sup!Dale? You know it.Jess? Cut!
