Last week ago, starting with wednesday early morning (7:55am).... two of our lesbian friends paid a round trip amtrak ticket for me to come down to Merced to help them for moving from Merced to San Bernardino areas as they do not have their drivers licenses. When i arrived in Merced from Chico and waited for my friend to show up at 1 pm but it was half hour late and she walked all the way from her home to amtrak as they do not have a car that they told me one week prior of my arrival at amtrak station. And then we both walked to Enterprise to rent a cargo van. She did not expected to have "$250.00 deposit" for this rental van and then she said go ahead charged on her credit card. She told me that she only have about 335 dollars in her account.... She asked the representative if could we ordered hitch from U-Haul on the van which it has not have one. And the rep. said not authorization for us to order that hitch.... She (rep) said that if we disregard her and do it anyway and if the cops pulling us over and will impound the van and plus a ticket to me. So, we respected their wishes. Anyway, i drove the van with my friend to her home to get ready to pack their things into the van. But at first, i took one of other lesbian friend to deaf service for their witnesses for damaged at their home from previous or Ex-roommate. And then we went to the stores to get empty boxes for their moving. I was waiting for them to get ready to tell me which items to take with them to their new home in SB (San Bernardino) area for awhile as they were still yapping and yapping their mouths as wasting my time to prepare for moving.... And then finally around 10:30 at night, we started to packing their things into the van along with too many cats and dogs. And still not finished to get other things to pack into the van until around 1:45 am (thursday morning) and we all left the house and went south toward to Bakersfield and we stopped there for gas to filling up and then i drove in wrong hwy to L.A. areas which i not supposed to drive on I-5 south to 210 east and then north 15 but i knew the area very well as my wife and i used to live San Gabriel valley areas back then.... Good thing i remember that hwy very well to get there on time but arriving at their new home in very hurry to trying to get on time back home to Merced to catch Amtrak after unloading their things and it was not enough time for me to go back home. So, i had to stay there another day. My friend's friend stole their money which was very low money for the gas to get me back home. So, i had to take my friend to her friend's place in about 48 miles away in deep mountain areas. When i arrived at my friend's friend's place in low gas and my friend was asking them to lend her some money for gas for me to get back home.... All they had $30 dollars for gas in the van and the gas tank gauge showed 1/2 tank from SB area which i knew that it will not be enough for me to get back home after dropping my friend at her new home and took 4 hour sleep to get me going back home. So, my friends woke me up at 4 am and i was just getting my ass on the road back to bakersfield and the gas light came on.... In my mind says OH F***, the only i have was the last $8.50 left for gas to get back to Merced but the gas light was still on. So, i had to go other several gas stations to beg more money from strangers and some gave me between 1.50 to 5.00 from Delano (near Bakersfield) to Merced for three hours with prayers for not ran out of gas on roadside of Hwy 99. In my prayers that i told GOD that i wanted to go home with my wife with my tears. And my wife was crying for two days as i was not able to come home on time but I made back to Merced amtrak around 12:45 pm on Friday, and i approached the amtrak station window and asked what time the train arrive...and said that it arrived at 1 08 pm and in my mind says oh f************ :eek3: and then rushed to the van and drove back to Enterprise parking lot... and told the reps that i have go back to amtak to catch the train at 1 08 pm. And then they took me to amtak almost on time.... the train was about ready to leave and i ran toward a door that was not closed yet and i hopped on the amtrak and the conductor asked me where am i going to... i said Stockton and she said its the right train. And i said WHEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! and then when i get off the amtrak station at Stockton and got on the amtrak bus from Stockton to Chico at 5:25pm.... End of the story!
