Great Timing Cover "Pains"
This morning my neighbor (Carlos) across the street pulled his Ford Ranger out front with an industrial compressor mounted on the bed. Employed him to zip off the crankshaft bolt. He must have spent a good 15 minutes looking around in his large metal tool box for an appropriate socket. Then 15 seconds to do the job.
I asked how much did I owe him? He said whatever you want to give. Handed him a $200 peso bill (about 10 USA dollars). I guess we both parted satisfied. Now to watch a little NFL football for the rest of the day.
Before Carlos pulled out, he asked if he could help himself to some tiny ornamental oranges from the tree beside his pickup truck (I have no use for them). I said sure, so he gathered up about half a dozen (not much larger than a cherry). I asked if he was going to make some tea or punch, but no, he said he eats 'em. Must have been a hungry Jack.
