As most of you know, there's a running joke on these forums about the dreaded '67 curse...which states that anyone who buys a '67 will end up becoming a parent within a few months or so. Actually, I think it was me that started it, since I'd purchased my '67 and then over several years I bought a few '67 parts trucks, and every time I got one, I also discovered that my wife was pregnant. (And it happened FOUR TIMES!!!) Then others here started having the same thing happen to them, and the curse was born! Well, I actually thought I was out of danger of the curse, since I had no intentions of buying any more '67s ( my truck is currently in storage until I can find a place with a shop so I can work on it).
However, over the July 4th holidays I finally purchased my dentside truck, a '75 SuperCab Ranger XLT Camper Special. I'd been looking for one for over a year to use as a nice daily driver, one that was outfitted like I wanted and didn't need any major work. And I'm not exactly sure how the 'curse' fit into this one, since it's not a '67....so there must be some strange unknown variations that we aren't aware of.
So anyway, if you haven't figured it out by now...I'm going to be a dad again!!!
We actually found out almost two months ago, I just haven't said anything yet. Tentatively, the baby is due around the beginning of June. (What a way to start the summer, right?)
We were actually discussing taking steps to ensure this wouldn't happen again, and were literally a couple weeks away from making it permanent...but I guess we didn't move fast enough. (Needless to say, sometime between now and then I'll be taking that step!)*sheesh*...shoulda bought a CREWCAB!! (But then with my luck, we'd probably have TWINS!)
