Looks like Sonny is telling Ed the way things were “when”. And it’s best we all listen because he has been there and done more than we can ever dream of doing.
When we’ve been riding apart a while and meet some where in the pasture he says one of two things. It’s either a brusque, “What did you see?” or the more genial, “Don’t think I’ve seen you around here before. You ride for the NXX, too?”
Then we make up stories about the rough string we’re riding and the miles we’ve put on and the outfits we’ve ridden for. I always know he’s feeling pretty good about things when he asks who I ride for. He’s always better at the BS stories than I am, but I’m getting better. Bullshitter in training – that’s me!
