Today I borrowed my dad's truck to pick up some patio furniture. I'm on my way to t-ball practice and the place was on the way so as usual I am in a rush. I grab the keys, jump in the truck and take off. I get to the main road and quickly pull out. All of a sudden I hear a huge crash and when I look in the rearview I see a bunch of lumber tumbling into the road. Unbeknownst to me, my dad had a load of specialty cut cypress in the back. I do a u turn and go back and load it up with a remarkable quickness. There were about 20 2x4x10's and 10 2x4x20's and 10 1x4x20's. I got them loaded and secured with the tailgate UP. I get to the place to pick up the furniture and realize that I am going to have to drop the tailgate to get the furniture in. I do so and get the furniture loaded. Now I have to get the tailgate back UP. So I basically have to do a combination of a squat clean and Zercher squat to get it back up unless I want to unload all the lumber and then reload it. The clock was ticking and I only had about 5 minutes to get to practice. So....I did it. I squat/clean/Zerchered that gate up. When I got done I was standing there breathing when I hear,"Dang, you a pretty strong boy." I turn around to see this old woman staring at me. If I were not fit, it would have been a long afternoon. After we left, my 8yo said, "Well dad, you got a second workout in today."
