So in honor of his would-be birthday this week, here is a short list of the projects Dave and I remember most, in no particular order...
- Cooking a turkey in the old wood-burning stove at the cabin one year.
- Taping the Endeavor's numbers on with duct tape the first year at the Bonneville Speed Show.
- Water-witching in the back-yard on Barker. Presumably there was a reason for this...
- Tractor-pulling.
- Putting a stem on Dave's orange Bug to dress it up for Halloween.
- Paul's Dodge Do-More.
- Packing all our belongings on a flatbed truck and hauling them 800 miles home, in an early October snow storm, just to avoid renting a truck.
- Installing a push-button starter in Dave's bug to by-pass the actual starter (it was quicker than fixing it.)
- Taking the whole family to the bowling alley on a school bus.
- Countless last-minute musical numbers at McCombs Family Reunions.

I still regret I never went to more tractor pulls. I think I only went to one. What was wrong with me?
Every once in a while I remember a Sunday School class with "the scriptures according to Doug" and it makes me laugh. The fun we had with your dad...that usually revolved around cars!!
"the scriptures according to Doug". I would have loved to hear that. I do remember him wearing Chucks to church once when he had a sore foot. I think he just wanted to wear Chucks to church. I know I do!
