Kevin and I went to a walkthrough at a nature preserve. It was full of wildlife and we even found an abandoned hunting cabin from decades ago. That was there long before civilization found its way to north Hillsborough county.
I'm glad we found the cabin because it began to rain like crazy. It rained for a good half hour before we could finish the hike. We then went as far as we could but much of the trails were flooded. You see I have boots on.
When we got back to the cars, there was standing water for we were in the grass. I started the cab and buried it in the mud. You should have been there. You would have laughed your ass off.
After waiting 2.5 hours for the tow, he winched me on to the parking lot and charged $100. I found out the charge should have been $45. I think the company will dispute this. I hope.

You talk about it being slow and how you are not making any money yet you find the time to use a company car for a foolish and unpaid outing!
ReplyDeleteFirst, its my car. Second, I have a mega YouTube channel which I receive a monthly check. The amount goes up as my millions of views, and thousands of subscribers continue to grow. This was very much "a paid outing."
DeleteHow is it your cab, Muddy? 49
DeleteWe got ripped off for a tow one time in Daytona Beach. As you drove up north on beach you went past the hard stuff but it wasn't obvious it was getting soft sand until it was too late. As it started to get soft we should have just turned toward water and made a big loop without stopping. But instead, stopped and tried to back up and got stuck. The tow trucks were just parked outside on main street waiting for another customer like a preying mantis waiting on a fly. Took all the money we had left for vacation just to pay to get pulled back about 100 feet. No checks, no credit cards in those days, all cash and when cash gone, you were SOL. I thnk my father bargained with him for all our money less $5.00 or so to buy gas so we could get back to Tampa (gas was 25c a gallon). Daytona city could have put signs up saying turn around here but they were all part of the scam, I think. This was back in days when you could drive on beach for free. Kennedy was president, and people worked hard hours to make money but like today, there are greedy SOB's that prey on people. Well, anyway, the cheating SOB tow truck driver is long dead. Hope that in Hell he is being drug around by a two chain through a big steaming pile of s**t
