Ronnie goes to Washington...& other stuff.

Well Ronald Sr. is heading over to Washington D.C. Wednesday to meet with Homeland Security. He is bring proof of his Marriage to wife Simonia. He hopes this will speed up this lengthy process. Simonia has been in Brazil for 11 months now and has been approved for her Visa back here, but the system can take a long time. Ronnie is a true Tocci who usually waits for nothing.

My brother Glenn borrowed my fathers dump truck a few weeks ago because he was tearing down an old barn on his property, and it would be much easier to load up the truck and take everything to the dump. All went well with that project. The funny part of this story is when Danny drove my father to Glenn's to pick up the truck last Wednesday. They started back to Massachusetts with Danny following behind my father in the dump truck. At about exit one in New Hampshire the truck suddenly went dead on the highway. He pulled over and he and Danny checked things over and couldn't find any problem. After an hour or so they were having no luck so they called for a tow back to Needham.

My father was telling me the story that evening. He had called his mechanic to schedule an appointment for repair. I only asked him one question about his problem with the truck that day. Did you check to see if you had any gasoline? He didn't! The truck was empty, and after a $400.00 towing bill he filled up his tank and drove off!

How was your day?

He has AAA plus and is going to submit the bill to them. However the dump truck is a commercial vehicle and they probably won't except it!

There is no real comment here, because if it had been one of us, I can hear the remarks now...and just one of them would be "stupidone"! Let's just leave it at that.
