Early Xmas Pressie!

So Fate had a hand in this.

John and I offered to sell the FIL’s  truck.  He had bought it and then a few month later grew ill.  MIL just didn’t have the energy to deal with people that would naturally want to test drive., check out etc.   We knew it would get a better price here than in Stockton.  The fact it was a 2007 loaded with all these manly truck options with only 5k miles on it also seemed to make some people suspicious.  They would ask “Hey does it have (insert some truck lingo). Why does it only have 5 k on it?  Are you scamming me?” and I would respond as best I could.  Only got one scam phone call from a “broker” who couldn’t even name the type of vehicle.  

Anyway:

• We have this truck.
• I see this buffet on cl.
• Paul decides to look at truck.
• We all take truck on “test drive” to buffet location.
  • Paul brings unusual items such as a “tarp” and “rope” to secure buffet.
  • Buffet owner gives crazy crazy directions to home.
  • Really bad directions.
• John and Paul carry buffet to truck and home.
  • Down many wood and earthen stairs
  • In rain
• I now have bootiful buffet.
• Paul likes truck
  • Paul  had been talking about getting a truck the day before I mentioned truck to him.
• Paul buys truck.
• I discover later buffet has a key, how cool is that?
