next transit

[Rev. Allen M. Drago ~ Traveler]

 

The next traveling adventure was when the one I was staying with called me up about midnight on a Friday and stated they had arranged for me a person that would take me to Michigan to the storage place and pick things
up. Not having any money for gas was my first thought and statement to him. But
that had all been arranged. Thus the control of things was others within my
live once again. The next call was the person whom was to do this asking when I
would like to start. The earlier the better I responded. And seven was agreed
upon. The next morning I walked out to the Waffle House to meet them. The wind
was hard and cutting cold. They were not there. They did not arrive till almost
10 after two other times of walking out and trying to call them I had almost
given up. But there they were after fixing the headlights in the truck. So off
we went to Michigan me and some young man that had never met me. I napped some
of the way there. Then slowly starting talking. Learning of him and the truck
as well. Up to Michigan we went stopping for gas just before the exit for
storage. And coming to the con clusion the truck he had was not large or heavy
enough to tow the Vardar. So we emptied the storage room of things and as we
did so it started to cold misty rain upon us. Taking the large tarp off the
Vardar and replacing it with a smaller one we strapped it over the things and started
down to Ohio. By now it had stated getting dark upon the road and I was to
drive back. Finding the overflow for the radiator had a leak and being told the
truck may over heat I just leveled out below the speed limit and down we came.
It did over heat once and we pulled over to let it cool. Up to a gas station
and filled up gass and water we were off again. Within site of the Exit we were
to get off on the rear tire blew on the truck and when the AAA truck arrived it
was found that the lug nuts were stripped and not removable. So towed it was to
the apartment. Unloaded into the small room I placed things. Which surprised
the person that place it was with the amount of things I put into the room. I
am good at 3d tetris still it seems. Then the trie to be replaced which was an
adventure in itself. For I ended up grinding the rim to the point I could break
it to parts with a sledge to remove it. NA then the other tire was put on after
new lugs replaced the old ones which were not so good.
