The truck was ready for collection from Angel, so we climbed aboard the big ship Dave’s truck and headed over to pick it up.
Kelli was driving it, and she felt the brakes weren’t feeling right. Her foot went to the floor, fortunately the truck did stop, but was not happy letting me drive it back, so asked Angel to check it out. So we climbed into ours, and left the other.
The ravages of Michigan winters takes its toll on many of the vehicles. The other day I saw a car with the floor sagging so much you could see the seats under the doors. That would have a significant ground effect on your buttocks.
Angel later called to say that all the brake lines needed to be replaced, quoting over five hundred dollars to do the job, fortunately that is now Matt’s problem.
We did the usual rounds of the thrift stores, but not much furniture, but Kelli found a few small pieces that she could sell on.
Without Goodwill and similar outlets we wouldn’t have a business, it is a great way of honouring the recycling ethic.
I finished lacquering the top of the tall dresser, that is now ready for the pictures and posting.
