Once again, my friend and neighbor
comes to the rescue!
Actually, it is rather fitting, since he really likes superheroes. I mean really really! One thing I've definitely observed about this man in my time knowing him is that he truly loves others, is willing to help, and goes the extra mile.
MY POOR, POOR DEAD TRUCK
So, my poor, dead truck was left up in Missouri over an hour away. While I was skilled at driving it all over the place, I am not capable of moving a non-running vehicle. I just don't have any experience. With all of the vehicle trouble that has been having with his vehicles though, he's unfortunately gaining a lot of experience.
The generally idea was pretty basic: put the truck in neutral and pull it onto the trailer. We had a pulley and some ratchet straps, so although the truck is heavy, we were able to get the job done.
It was late in the day and raining, but I had to get it home soon. I had left it in the parking lot of an auto mechanic, and he kindly gave me a few days to take care of it. Thankfully, with the help of , I was able to remove it in a timely fashion.
Eventually after much effort we had the truck completely on the trailer. We then put it in park and locked it in place with some chains and straps. I've got a wonderful trip to take today, so I wanted to cross this task off of my list. Thankfully, is lending me his truck and a trailer today so I can take care of some other business, but I'll share more about that later.
WILL WORK FOR FOOD
After we were loaded, I wanted to treat my friend and helper to some dinner. I had actually met him at a job site and helped him finish some work before we headed to get the truck, so I knew he had not had dinner. We stopped at an Arby's restaurant. I like it because they have a little pepper bar right there in the store. Plus it gave me the chance to buy a BIG milkshake too.
Did I mention that they have some wonderful sauces too? LOL! Anyway, in the end we finally made it home safe late last night, and today I'm off on another adventure. Hopefully I won't ruin his truck in the process. Thanks !
As always, I'm
