About 30+ years ago I was invited to stay for supper at a friend's farm in The Fraser Valley, south of Chilliwack. The brother of my friend was late for supper and when he came in, he could hardly contain himself. After supper I went out to my R120 to drive home and the box was full of manure. It was stacked as high as the cab and packed sown. There was a steady drip of "tea" running out from under the tailgate from the heavy rain. The brother sat on the porch and laughed so hard.
On the way home on Highway 1, I passed a parade of touring BMW motorcycles. When it was clear, I pulled back into the right lane, Very suddenly the tour group dropped back another 100 meters. Some of the front runners were waving. I do not think they were saying, "Look at the nice old truck."
Makes me think of the time I was on my bike behind a truck towing a horse trailer, I thought "oh gee it's starting to rain" and then a moment later...'' No wait a minute"
