I knew this would be a good anniversary present for Joey because it had to do with a massive truck and boat. It was called a Chattaooga Duck, and it was an old WWII DUCW that was used in D-Day. It was a huge truck that could turn into a boat and go in the water. Evidently that's where the term "sitting duck" came from because the boat was so heavy and slow that none of the soldiers wanted to ride on them and be "sitting ducks" for the Germans. It took us on a tour of Chattanooga by way of the river, and we learned some very neat things about the city. My sister and bro-in-law were in town for their anniversary, so they went with us.
Of course, Joey would be talking "mechanical stuff" with the captain.
