So yeah, what a day.. I had been contacted by a member who was looking for an SS Performer.
I just happen to have a nice green one that I had cleaned up for resale. Green is not my color..Lol
Anyway, said member sent me pics of stuff he was willing to trade. So a deal was struck. I had planned to meet him half way to make the trade. I get a message on Friday night that said he was gonna be coming my way, could we meet?
I said, sure, bring it on. 11:00 rolls around, Hey Im gonna be closer to noon. 12:30 rolls around, I sent him a message. Closer to 1:00? He said 12:45. OK great.. A few minutes later, up rolls Sacramento.. Lol
We talked and agreed to the trade. Talked some more shop.. and off he went to meet Castro Valley.. Lol
By the way in our chatting, he says, Hey did you see the ad for a Free 22 WSM and Performer.
I sad yeah, too far away for me and the guy said he would not hold it for more than 20 minutes. Great..
Anyway after he left, I get a call from Sacramento.. He says he got a call from the guy and said he still had it, can you come at 3:00? I said, cool.. He said you want it? Huh, what? You're not gonna get it? He said his van was full.
Hmmm.. OK, yeah I'll go.. But my gut tells me I might be making a wasted trip An hour drive, I know traffic sucks even on Saturday. What the hell I hose off and hit the road, knowing I need all that time to make the 3:00 schedule
I get the phone and address from Sacramento.. I see he said make it 3:15 Whew! I cross a bridge on below empty on the gas gauge. Great, more traffic. I text the guy saying 5 minutes. Cool. As I get close I see a Chevron. Sweet!
Make it to the guys house and no where to park Screw it! Flashers on in the middle of a one way street.. H meets me at his driveway.. Loaded up and gone! My GPS takes me around a crazy road but manage to get back to the freeway.
3 Hour round trip, 120 miles later. I give you this! My thanks to a great member for the hand off.
I definitely owe you more than one favor for sure!
