I’ve mentioned before that I use my truck for all sorts of things. Being the only one in my immediate circle of friends that has a heavy duty truck means that I get to volunteer for all sorts of neat stuff. Moving people, towing stuff, pulling things out of the ground… you know, redneck stuff.
A couple of years ago I even got scooped into a deal to make a home delivery. After a party… in the dark of night… Here’s how my buddy Rob describes the event:
…My brother closed on a house in Gastonia last week, and they have been laboring to fix up the house for the past few days in order to move into it this weekend. Over the course of their labors, they removed the toilets (my brother sat ’em out on the back deck for expedients sake) and had all new plumbing and toilets installed.
Well, my brother and his wife had his sister in law stop by to see the progress and so that they could show off all they had done. Of course, siste in law immediately noticed the toilets sitting on the back deck and couldn’t help herself but started explaining to my brother that "Maybe that’s they way they do it in Mississippi, but in North Carolina …." – well, suffice it to say – she gave my little brother a lot of grief over it and had quite a good laugh in the process.
But little did she realize that I live in the area now – and no one but me picks on my little brother and laughs at his expense! 😉 Oh yes, it is payback time!!! Tomorrow night, my brother is going to pack the two old toilets in the back of his truck and bring them over for Campfire w/Bubba. After we have all taken our ease around the fire, and are about done for the night, we intend to fill those two toilets with fresh potting soil, along with some beautiful blooming flowers my wife will pick up from Wal-Mart – then we shall drive over to Jane’s Fabulous House in her Posh Neighborhood and position the toilets on either end of her beautifully paved driveway!
Oh yea, Saturday morning is going to be a blast – as my brother and his wife are telling everyone to meet early at sister in laws house for breakfast prior to heading over to help move. All of the family (15 people), a few of sister in law’s closest friends, and of course us – will meet at Two Potty Drive!
For some reason his brothers truck didn’t work out and we ended up using mine… here are the pictures from “Two Potty Drive”
