How Old Do You Have To Be To Work At Ritas: Fill & Download for Free

Not crazy at all, just unusual and — under the circumstances — quite touching.A 1969 Ford F250 was advertised for sale located in a town about 400 miles away. I called and spoke with the elderly original owner. He was not an enthusiastic seller and seemed to be throwing up obstacles to buying it. For one thing, he asked the questions, not me. The conversation went like this:Me: Hello, I’m calling about the F250 for sale. Is it still available?Him: Yes. What do you want with it?Me: Uhhh, well, sir, I was thinking about buying it.Him: Why?Me (looks at phone with a WITW? expression): Because I need a truck.Him: What do you need a truck for?Me: To haul tools and material.Him: That’s good. How old are you?Me: (Young in spirit but wise beyond my years. More or less.)Him: That’s good. How’s your driving record? Any accidents or tickets recently?Me: No wrecks, no tickets.Him: Will you put different wheels and paint and interior and engine in it?Me: Gosh, no. I want it all original. Like it is now.Him: Okay, you can come look at it. My address is…I went all that way, looked, endured another vetting from him and was finally judged worthy of his treasured pickup that he could no longer drive because it had manual steering and he could no longer turn the steering wheel. As I drove away in the truck he’d named Whitey back in 1969, I glimpsed him in the rear view mirror crying unashamedly.But wait, there’s more.I drove directly to the other side of town and viewed a second 1969 Ford F250 for sale by its elderly original owner who also subjected me to a lengthy qualifying interrogation. Satisfied, he sold me the truck he’d named Rita in 1969 and helped me disconnect the driveshaft then attach a tow bar so I could pull her home with Whitey. After I had remote lights rigged up on his Rita, I got into Whitey and pulled away. In the rear view mirror I glimpsed Rita’s original owner crying unashamedly.Nearly 10 years later Whitey and Rita are still exactly as they were the day I brought them to their new home. It was a good day, as have been all all the rest with them. As their original owners requested I have kept them exactly as they were: working trucks, now 50 years young, in original condition and carefully maintained. I even built them a canopy to protect them from the sun and inclement weather.Below, L to R: Here are Rita and Whitey with their good pal Slick. They always were and still are deeply loved.

Few things I have learnt from my favourite movie - The Shawshank Redemption.*SPOILER ALERT: Don't read if you haven't seen the movie."The Importance of having a good friendLet's face it. Andy Dufresne would not have been able to break out of prison if it wasn't for Ellis "Red" Redding. Red gets him the rock hammer. Red gets him posters of Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe and Raquel Welch.It won't be wrong to say that Red is the only friend Dufresne had in prison. And this is essentially why Dufresne had asked him to visit a specific hayfield near Buxton to retrieve a "package", when he is out of prison.In life, we should all have at least one friend like Red. Friends who will be there for you, no matter what. And when you have friends like Red, the world becomes a much better place to live in.Always use your strengths to gain advantage"And then Andy says, "Mr. Dekins, do you want your sons to go to Harvard... or Yale?"Andy Dufresne was extremely good at financial management. He started with providing financial consultancy to the guard by helping him keep $35,000 by gifting it to his wife.Overtime, Andy's expertise in financial matters became so popular in and around the prison that he even got to manage the Warden's money. And we all know what happened ultimately.Well, I would say Andy was a very clever and intelligent human being who used his skills to his advantage. I have seen many people who are extremely good at something or the other. But very few actually put it to use like Andy did."RED:Well, I'll be damned. Did I say you were good? Shit, you're a Rembrandt!"If you love it, do it. Never give a damn about what is gonna happen.Along with the whole lot of books that came to the prison, Andy noticed something else. It was a record of an opera song. Good old Andy went into the Wardens room, and played the record through the microphone. A very brief moment of joy for Andy and other prisoners.For a very brief moment, all of those men felt free.All this time, the Warden was out there, yelling at Andy to open the door and if he didn't he would have to face consequences. And our hero never gave a damn.He was sent to solitary confinement at the hole for two whole weeks. And when Red asked him whether it was worth it, Andy replies "Easiest time I ever did".Life is too short to postpone important things or to avoid things you love doing fearing the consequences. If you like to do it, do it. You may have to spend days,weeks or months in the "hole", but it will be worth it.Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.Andy Dufresne was an innocent man who was confined in one of the safest prisons in US. But still he had hope. That one day he will get out of there and move to Zihuatanejo, a Mexican Pacific coastal town.Andy dig that tunnel for close to twenty years. It was his ticket out of that place. For years, it was his only goal in mind. And he worked tirelessly towards that goal.He went from this-To this-Andy teaches us a very valuable lesson. No matter how difficult the situation is,there is always a way out.Even if it's about breaking out of a prison. You just have to work for it,without losing hope.
