Description

Below is a song by Jan Unwin, which is a parody of Lucille by Kenny Rogers. I have always loved this song and it is appropriate for this cache.

On a road in Toledo, across from the depot
I was cruising in my old heap.
It wasn't good lookin'
But I was sure bookin'
And anyway I got it dirt cheap.
Me and my old lady
Were cruising 'bout 80
When the car really started to roar
Round the curve we were turnin', and something was burnin'
But I shoved that old gas pedal down to the floor

In the mirror I saw something cruise down the highway
I thought how it looked out of place
It was my tire, going like fire
I had a strange look on my face
I really don't know but, it looked like a donut
For a minute I thought I was dead
I started crying, I thought we were dying
I looked out the windshield and said

You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel
With four old bald tires, you were such a good deal
I've had some clunkers, some really bad junkers
But you were just a great steal
You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel

After the collision, I made a decision
I thought how I'd lived through it all
In the glow of the headlights, I checked out the damage
You really couldn't see much at all
I started thinking, I'm glad I'm not drinking
And these words came back time after time

You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel
With 4 old bald tires, you were such a good deal
I've had some clunkers, some really bad junkers
But you were just a great steal
You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel

Hi Budge
Collected this from the barrow after picking up my niece at the airport this evening.
After watching you carry this to its original hiding place, its good to see it again.
TFTC and cheers

I have placed a few, well quite a few caches on my driveway. They are available at all times, but please take 5 or so at a time. I am happy for you to take more, but please don't just hide them all together.

By the way I have a nice photo that I will post of all the caches together

FTF. Perhaps others came and left without cache when they saw what it was and the fact it was rather heavy. We carried it750 m out, our knuckles were dragging on the ground. TFTC I think.
