For Fuck's Sake

I spent the day with Marv trying to get his Fiero from the old house to his new house.

He's spent the past week getting it ready to travel and doing most of the effort of getting it from the back yard to the side yard.

He needed someone to steer it through the narrows, and I'm just the monkey for the job!

After that it was call AAA for a flat-bed to haul it the 35 miles from there to here.

3:30PM: Start call to AAA.  Did you know about AAA's app?  You can surrender all access to your phone and give AAA remote access by simply downloading their app!
3:45PM: Someone actually picks up phone.
4:00PM: Information exchanged, truck scheduled for 5:15PM.
4:00PM to 4:25PM: Get breakfast from Popeye's.
4:55PM: Driver 1 arrives.  Assesses the Fiero with a transmission stuck in 3rd and a dead clutch slave.  Decides he's not the man for the job and calls dispatch.
5:10PM: Driver 1 tells us a lift truck with dollies is on the way and Driver 2 will be there in ten minutes.
6:30PM: Driver 2 has not yet arrived.  Start second call to AAA.  Did you know about AAA's app?  You can surrender all access to your phone and give AAA remote access by simply downloading their app!
6:55PM: Someone actually picks up phone.
7:05PM: Driver 3 is on the way, 15 minutes.
7:25PM: Driver 3 arrives.  Flails around for a really long time trying to get the truck lined up at the odd angle the car's parked at.  Marv and I manfully resist telling him to step aside and let us do it.
8:00PM: Driver 3 gets it loaded.  FINALLY.  Driver 2 has not yet arrived.
