Little did I know that he would reply the next day! He said that he could sell us a ring for 1700. It was used but still worked. I was fine with this. then I read the last line. We had to pick it up from Kentucky!
After getting together 1700 dollars from variuos cool people, we had to find a way there. Luckily a friend of mine, said he could borrow his mom's truck and go! We were all set for the next weekend.
Then things took a turn for the worse. The day we were supposed to go, he gets a ticket and his mom won't let him go. At this same time I get an e-mail from the wrestler selling us the ring. He says he is glad that we are coming down this weekend becasue he cancelled his trip to Haiti for us!
I am left with the unenviable task of telling the 300 pound southern veteran that we are not coming this week. Things began to look hopeless. Finally as a last ditch effort I call my uncle who has a truck. I haven't talked to him in about 6 months so you could imagine how awkward this conversation is. "Hey I know i haven't seen you in 6 months, but can I borrow your new truck to drive to Kentucky?"
He said no, but I tell you what, how about I drive? No problem by me, I was afraid I was going to get lost anyways. so my uncle, my dad, my best freind Andrew, and I set off toKentucky the next weekend. |
