Well yesterday I insured and drove the short cab (Jalape±o).
There is no way to make this a short story but here is why.
We have a refrigerator down stairs for extra food and overstocked items from our refrigerator on the main level.
I went downstairs to look at a silver Ranger cluster I have which happens to be in the same room as the spare refrigerator.
I smelled this extremely foul odor. Like dead rotting flesh. So I started looking for the squirrel or mouse that I thought was trapped somewhere.
It was coming from the fridge.
I opened it. Almost puked.
I have no idea how long it had been off for, compressor must have taken a crap. I had not been in it personally for over 2 weeks.
So the first hour and a half was spent running back and forth taking deep breaths and holding it so I could remove and bag various hams (one whole ham), sausage packages that were blown up like beach balls, left over meat of all kinds in the freezer then started to mop the rotted meat soup from the bottom of the freezer.
Bleach was in heavy use.
I had the bed of my ex cab ranger full of shrub and ground cover clippings but there was enough room by the tailgate to nest the 2 bags of rotted meat and soupy rags plus bleach.
I needed to go rent an appliance dolly to get this thing up stairs and out of the house it was not staying for one minute more than was necessary.
No place to put the dolly in the ex cab ranger with a bed full of clippings and rotted meat bags.
Solution? Throw insurance on the interior stripped reg cab in my garage and use it!
I've been wanting to drive it for a while and this was an excellent excuse :)
Now for the end.
I take stinky fridge to curb in front of my house.
This morning I hear some commotion outside, I look and a dude was wrestling the fridge in to the bed of a rather nice silverado. I bet he didn't open it first. He put it horizontal. I could imagine the swarm of flies that will be hovering over the bed of his truck before he takes it through the car wash from the meat soup leaking in his bed.
Good points: The uhaul dolly rental guy felt so sorry for me he did not charge me.
I got to drive my other Ranger
The back of the ex cab is empty because I took a trip to work and assaulted their dumpster.
I found the silver cluster.
End of rather lengthy story.
The fact that he drives a Chevy explains a lot
