So as I understand it, a lot of you jokers were in on this from the beginning. Some of you have met my fiancee Katherine at Hershey and the like and know she's very accepting of my obsession with rusty treasures. Anyways, the wedding is in less than 3 weeks, and we decided to give each other our gifts tonight to get out ahead of the hustle and bustle that is coming up. Anyways, THIS is what I pulled out of the box! Definitely by far the best can in my collection. I used to spend a lot of time out in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana and those brands always connected with me even though they were long gone by the time I started going out there. Been a banner year... getting married to the greatest girl, found a Texaco Fuel Chief sign and now my long sought after Husky can! Special thanks to Dick Bennett, Doc, Brady Bowles (1PetroFan), Scott Shippers, Wayne Story, and HuskyBob for helping her on the hunt and of course MinuteMan for parting with this awesome can!

Chris, you know I couldn't be any happier for you, but I can't take any credit for this. I am as surprised as you are. One of these days you are going to have to introduce me to Katherine! Brady
