Running the roads

My grandpa used to say you were "out running the roads" if he thought you were wasting time away from home. So The Talker and I went out to run the roads this afternoon. Did not really turn out like I expected, so I dropped the boy off at home and made a couple of more loops around our block and the next.

I am still stuck to our street, since the truck is neither street legal nor insured. Plus, either direction away from our street leads to some steep hills and I am not skillful enough with this old truck's clutch.

And then there is that whole not having rear brakes or decent tires thing...
