    Prayers Needed For a Fallen Diesel Friend.....

    I just received one of those phone calls that no one ever likes to get. One of my best and closest friends, and a dear friend to a lot of you passed away yesterday. Mike McSpadden known to most of us as Muley had a heart attack yesterday and didn't make it. He was in the process of loading the Mule onto his trailer after a car show at his wifes work when it happened.

    Mike and I had become very very close friends. The truck stuff got us started but I will miss him greatly. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone that needed it anytime they asked. Mike and his wife Sally were very close and I know she will miss him greatly. Please send out a prayer to Sally and Mike's son Garrett. He will be greatly missed.

    RIP Mike McSpadden 9-25-09

    I you guys could please blow a little smoke for Mike today, I know he'd appreciate it!

    RIP Muley 9-25-09
    You're ridin with the best now!

    Very sad news indeed. My condolences to the family.

    I had never met Mike, but shared some PMs with him. I had discussed horses with him, and had made plans to go out to his place for a day to ride horses with him. I was waiting for the weather to become a little more friendly temperature wise, before I actually headed out there to meet him and have a nice day on the horses.

    It's unfortunate that good men like him seem to be taken away all too soon. I wish the best to his family.

    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
    "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The American G. I.
    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
