The Alero's Second Tow

Monday September 27th 2010



Around 5pm Dad called. The Alero was giving Marty problems. He asked if I needed the Pontiac tomorrow. I said no, I can rearrange my schedule so Marty can have it for work. I threw on clothes, brushed my hair, and headed to Dad's.


When I got there, Dad was sitting on the steps. He asked me to park down the corner because he called a tow truck for Marty. We chatted while we waited. Dad spoke to the tow truck guy. Then he called Marty and told him to call the tow truck. They couldn't find him.


When the tow truck got there, the Alero was unloaded in front of Dad's house. It wouldn't start. We pushed it closer to the curb. Dad couldn't see much in the dark so he said he'd work on it tomorrow. I drove Marty to put gas in the car, then we headed to my house with a pit stop at Pathmark for milk, CoffeeMate and a few other items to hold me over until I get the car back.

Marty texted me, Dad's done with the Alero. I did a quick workout, showered and dressed. Marty picked me up, we went to Dad's so Marty could pick up the car, then we met up with an old friend at TGI Fridays. It was good catching up. It's been a good decade since we saw our friend. Facebook is wonderful for finding people you've lost track of.
