One time in Sun Prairie, WI, Boom Boom parked the truck in front of a stop light, it was time for a late evening snack, and when we got back to the truck, the local cop gave him hell for blocking the light. I was parked behind him with Bubba riding shotgun for me instead of Boom Boom.

I used to drop blocks at night for John Schweitzer for an extra $2, and was strictly admonished by Tommy Clarke to descend by the laces. If I stepped on the canvas up there, it could tear and I'd drop to the ground with nothing to grab. He was horrified one night, when I followed another guy in getting between the bale ring and the center pole and sliding down the pole. Tommy advised if a sudden wind came up and slammed the bale ring against the pole, I'd be cut in half. From then on, I came down the laces, as it looks like this guy did.; 13 October, 2008 19:47
