One summer Saturday morning a guy from across the alley knocked on our door. This is one of those guys you see and give a courtesy nod to but don't really know if he saw you but he is friends with our neighbor. He came to ask for a ride to pick up his 911 Porsche that had been parked overnight in the City Park parking lot after which explanation I commented "Crazy night eh?" I don't even know if he knew what I was talking about so I asked him why he needed a ride. To make a long story short, because it took a long time for me to get it, he needed a ride to get his car and someone to drive his car back since he can't drive since he is legally blind but he owns this nice Porsche so he can let girls and friends drive him around. Any way it was a weird situation but Cat and I gave him a ride and drove back his car for him and haven't heard from him since.
Right after we got back from the blind guy Porsche experience we get another knock on the door and who else could it be then our old/lives down the street friend Kris Sundberg. Now I know that whenever Kris comes knocking on my door something exciting is going on, that or he needs some tools. With exuberant enthusiasm Kris tells me how he found a BBQ in one of the alleys down the street and we were in luck because he brought the tandem bike with which we could tow the BBQ back to his house down the middle of the street. In my day I have towed some things but never a BBQ with a bike and my skepticism got the best of me because I thought there was no way we could tow a big BBQ with those tiny wheels down these ruff HB streets. Either way I thought it would be fun and maybe we would be chased for steeling someones BBQ or at least make some noise riding down avenue towing a stainless steel BBQ. Anyway the tow was a great success and it was so fun even when we got to Kris's house we kept riding around the block. So this is a tribute to Kris Sundberg who's Saturday morning knock is always music to my ears.
Other days do not apply....just kidding...but serious.
