Thirty years ago today
I got a ride to work with Chris and we went to finish the job we'd started on November 16, moving that couple up to Erin. We got her things out of her condo and some of his office stuff from his ex-wife's place. We got lost on our way up and were an hour late. We unloaded the straight truck in no time but it stalled two times on the way out of the driveway. After two boosts we finally got going but half a kilometre down the road it was backfiring like crazy, it wouldn't change gears and we stalled halfway up a hill. The problem was we couldn't take more than two guys in the cab and Chris was driving because that was the policy of the company that just bought Mr Mover. The radio wasn't getting through to the shop so I had to walk back in the snowstorm to the customers' house to telephone. The attractive middle aged woman was very kind to me and gave me something hot to drink. I kind of fell in love with her.
