The truck

Two or three times a month I would meet up with Ron at Jenny's in Stirling for breakfast where the staff fussed over him, and his buddies looked out for him. We always had coffee with a bacon egg & cheese bagel. He is the only person I know who put peanut butter in his coffee. Then he would clear the pile of tools and various parts from the passenger seat of the old red GMC truck, and we would go for a "bore" around town, scouting for old bar-b-ques set out (for the scrap aluminium), check out the yard sales, or pick up bagged leaves in the fall set out at the curb here and there for Kathryn's garden mulch. He loved to talk about his exploits with farm machinery and tractors over the years, and fixing things. If I was ever looking for something mechanical, I would leave him the task of finding it for me ... and always get a good deal to boot. (He was an expert negotiator ... to say the least) He spent a lot energy worrying about his impending truck e-tests, and passing the Ontario drivers test for those over 80 years old, but always managed to make the grade. I will miss hanging out with him.
