Although it wasnt that easy.. it was a long journey....
So I get out of work on X-Mas eve around 2pm. I had to skip the Misaki family side party for xmas this year to take care of some stuff... well they had dinner/lunch around 2pm anyways which was around the time I was getting out.... anyways. I rushed out of work and ran to the DMV to get a one day moving pass. I found out that the best day to go to the DMV is Xmas EVE!!! I got from parking, Walked right in to get my number, and as soon as i sat in a chair to wait, my number was called. I was in and out in serriously like 7-8 minutes. After that I smashed over to the Mountain View Police Station to pay the fine and show them my paper work and junk from the DMV and the white lady who claimed to have never seen me before and had never talked to me, nor recognize me.... Recognized me right away, knowing my reason for being there as well.... Anyways she did her job and I paid and I got what i needed to have my truck released from the impound.
So I call up the Tow yard, Dunn's Towing/auto body, and get ahold of them and they send their driver over to meet me and get my truck out. I drove 2 blocks from the police station to Dunn's and waited 20 minutes and met with the guy. He did his paper work and I paid him money and I then walked around to gate where he went to go retrieve my truck. I waited and waited for a while, until I see him walking back to me with a confused look... My shaved handles had kept him out of my truck... not a big deal...
so I walked back to my truck with him and he tells me that he cant open my door, so I walk up to my truck and try, and it didnt work... Then I noticed they had locked the truck.... so long story short the guy had to slim jim the lock to open the door. I got in and turned the key as he made sure I had room to get out. As i turned the key the started cranked slowly as I noticed my battery was dead.... So the tow truck driver wiggled his truck around some cars and down the aisle, he jumped started my truck :) and I was on my way out. I left the tow yard and headed home. As I was driving, I took a look at my gas guage... They had taken over half a tank of my gas.... (not cool). Oh well I said to myself and I deiced to just hit the gas station on the way home, and luckily it wasnt too far cuz My truck started cutting out, due to lack of gasoline in the tank. I made it into the station and my truck dies right as I pull in. I pumped a few dollars of gas and I jump into my truck and turn the key, but i forgot that my truck battery was dead... So I figure they must have jumper cables in the gas station since there was a garage with mechanics working on cars. So i walkin into the the shop and ask the guy if he has cables and he nods and walks over and picks up a battery that was made into a "jumper battery?"
Well it was kinda cool i thought and a good idea... maybe ill make one too. And it worked! Finally I was on my way home again! I pull out of the gas station and pop some sunflower seeds in my mouth as I drive off. I spit some shells out the window and a cop siren blares outloud and lights flash behind me as if I had just stolen this truck... I pull over and the cop demands me to turn off the truck... I knew it was going to suck because my battery was dead... But I had no choice. the guy walkes up to my truck and asks me why he pulled me over and I figured it was for my registration stickers, since they still said 2009. but I showed him the paper work and stuff that showed that I had just gotten the truck out of impound and that I was on my way home. He said he noticed that the Reg was old, but he said the reason he pulled me over was for littering.... And I said really? cuz Im eating sun flour seeds. and all i did was spit out the shells. He looked a little disgruntled and he took my license to run it through the system.
he came back and told me to go home, and I asked him if he had any jumper cables and he said "nope, sorry." and He walked back to his car and just drove off. So Here I am.. once again, stuck, with a dead battery, and guess what.... parked in a red zone... real nice....
Oh i forgot to mention... Me and mImI were having a not so great day with each other... a lot of not talking and not calling each other... more added stresses. Oh yah and I was starving! I didnt eat anything all day!!!!
After the cop left I had no choice but to call Mimi, wondering if she was even going to pick up.... and she didnt... but she called back right away. :) I told her my story in short form and luckily she was already out of the house and on her way. And she had just ordered jack in the box!!! YUM! I had her go to my house and go in my wagon to pull out some jumper cables and then drive over to me and save my life :) (Your a life saver beb <3)
anyways finally I was able to jump the truck and start it up and drive home. :)
Im a much happier camper now that My truck is back where it belongs :)
