Pinch me.
So...I get home from work, unload the truck...a new truck. Not brand spanking new, like a 2014, but a newer truck, 2011 w/62-grand on it. $25-grand at Ford. Told them yesterday I'd take it overnight so on so forth, but it is already piled high behind the seat (supercab) with my tools. Worked out Point Mills today, windows.
So yeah, I get home, unload, starting to rain, beat, pick the Gazette out of the tube, the mail out of the box, bring that in...I notice this other customer out Tamarack Waterworks has sent something...payment? Always nice. Beer-thirty.
After stowing tools, packing garbage, empty the lunch-box, rinse out aluminum cans, I open the envelope...payment. Yes. A note:
Walt,
Thank you for your patience in getting the shutters adjusted. [long story...a tad of a nightmare, truth be told] I ordered the new wall plate and the sills and will let you know when they come in.
There is a tip for you included because of the good work.
She signed her name.
The tip (?) is for two-grand over cost! Heh! I mean, I've gotten tips before, but do you think she made a mistake? The final bill was for 5-grand and some change...the change rarely happens, 70-cents...but that is what she owed based on her 1/3 down payment.
And me with a new truck in the drive...and needing to go back out when the sill and the plate come in. Figure to ask the wife what she thinks. These shutters were a hoot, heavy aluminum, motor-controlled, they can be lowered/raised from inside...wire them in...don't tell anyone. Yeah, see me, call the county inspector, ah yeah, I just did some illegal wiring and I'm calling for an inspection. Relax. I've wired my house complete. Not licensed for that..."licensed" for other things.
A 2-grand tip. Think it's real? What makes me think it is real is that the wrote out the odd dollars after the 5-grand and the change, 70-cents.
I should have taken that Lariat...had leather seats, A/C up the seat-bottom, nice. Anymore these trucks...like you're in the cockpit of a jet fighter...you got this suitcase sitting to your right, the seat-back, set your cold drink there, rest you arm. Steering wheel has this phone emblem on it.
Wife ought to be home shortly...I can ask her, see what she thinks. Guess I ought to call the customer and tell them...what? Complain about the postal service, a day late? Wait for the ball to drop? What?
