Dean, speaking of snow, it's a good thing you are in AZ these days.  Kind of 
white up north isn't it?
I bet the horse really appreciated your fun!

Charlie/Ron,

We would saddle up a horse and pull a hood with a very long rope hooked to 
the saddle
horn. Then getting the hood going in a circle, the test was who could hang 
on in the hood
the longest. Writing this I can think of all kinds of real safety issues but 
I don't ever
recall anyone getting hurt.  Man that was a real kick.

Yessir!  A '41 Ford hood really works good when pulled behind a '38 Chev 
truck.  Just
don't let the old man catch you.  What tracks????  Who, me??  Your truck?? 
Naw, musta
been the neighbors.
