I find myself in a quandry. I really love my Studebaker automobiles. However there was once a time when I loved my Studebaker Carriages. I have a chance to turn the clock back, as it were, and start over again. The sixty-nine thousand dollar question is; do I want to?
Sometimes I really do.
Sometimes I really don't.
Mosttimes I'm afraid to even think about it.
Surely most of you have seen the posts I've made on Horsedrawn Studebakers. They really are my first love. Fifteen years devotion, a love affair if you will, is really a wrench to let go. It wasn't something that was willing or voluntary in any wise. All the same, economics, realities of parental responsibilities, etc... sometimes make our decisions for us.
Fast forward twenty, or more, years to the present. Here I am with the opportunity of starting over with horses and carriages, add to that the opportunity of several horse drawn Studebakers at very good prices, and you can see my quandry. Something will have to be traded for the opportunities. The only things I have of value are my model trains (which are currently for sale) and my stationwagon. Bess is not really of any great value, however, I'm sure she has some, at least. After all, I saw one for sale in the Sacramento area that wasn't really in any better condition for five grand! In fact, the Sacramento Parkview may have been in worse condition. If I could get four grand for Bess...
But do I really want to sell?
Should I trade my present love for my first love?
What to do. What to do...
Just needed to vent in a sympathetic location. Thanks for listening.
