im gettin some my old uglies up for a flea market run. i said what the heck. in my desperation to hear one of em snap, let me see if i can break one. so i took one of the heavy action thug rods, run a 1/4 inch nylon cord through the eyes and tied it to the handle. here come the tricky part. i tied it to the trailer hitch ball on the back of the ford and asked the hen to drive off with me holding the rod to see if i could break it. she said she would, IF i wouldnt want to be buying another rod to replace it.
. after signing a contract i wouldnt, off she went, with me holding the rod. what a awesome bend i put in it before things started happening. i held on when suddenly i found myself on the gravel being drug along in a cloud of dust and gravel. well the wife thought id turned it loose so she took off up the road to get the paper and mail outta the box. i held on to the creek and had to turn it loose. that or loose all the hide on my elbows and knees. when she got to the box, she found the rod still tied on to the back of the truck. scratched up some, but still unbroken.........so after all that i still aint heard one snap..........
