| Early last century Gramps bought a few thousand acres and built a small adobe house. After a while he bought himself a Model T Stake Bed truck from a fellow named Arte Micrun. He modified the frame, added a platform, winches and motors and rebuilt it into a drilling rig. After which he went prospectin' for water. He didn't go far as he drilled 35 feet from his front door. Instead of finding water though he tapped right into a shallow pool of oil. Unfortunately he was as good at building oil wells as he was at finding water and the thing fell over before he could complete it. That destroyed his one and only room. | ||
