    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    DANG ! You got me with that "TIN ROOFED CARGO BED". I should go to bed earlier. Looking more closely - without the fatigue - I can see it IS just your carport and NOT a Tin Roof over your Deuce's bed. (EMBARRASSED!!!) It's funny what the eyes will see at a glance. Thanks.
