Doing Whatever It Takes

Whew! 

What a crazy time it's been since our last post! Let’s see, where do we start fearless foodie friends…

We had our first Ranger Creek Brewery open house! Wait, before we get to that as some of you may know it was quite a feat for our beloved Rickshaw Stop truck just to make it there!

It started out like any other Saturday for the crew of Rickshaw…but our 1978 Chevy had other ideas (no, not like Christine folks, ;-) but like a 33 year-old engine that had been sitting around a while.) We admit – we bought it for the looks (I’m a sucker for polished metal.)

The day started normally: I got to BoB, started her up and began making my way to the commissary, but all of sudden she died! ARGH! Lucky for us, I was able to get it started and I pulled into the gas station. But she wouldn’t stay running, so I called Meagan and she came to meet me. We started her up, drove right back to BoB, pulled in and parked. (I’ll forgo all the panicky thoughts rushing through our minds as we pondered WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT RANGER CREEK?!) After a few frenzied minutes we decided we would just go for it and take our chances, not stopping like they did in the movie Speed, but she died again…right in the middle of BoB’s driveway! (Ha ha - we laugh now.) So, we called a tow truck and boy did we get the right one! He was there in no time, he hooked up the truck and we followed him to Ranger Creek…

But wait - it gets funnier…all the time I had been waiting for Meagan and then the tow truck I left 2 voicemails for Mark at Ranger Creek and sent multiple texts ranging from “We have a small problem” to “We may not make it” to “We are getting the truck TOWED to Ranger Creek!” but Mark never responded! I know it’s not that funny but what IS funny is that they had NO IDEA what was going on because they were busy setting up for the 300 people coming to their Open House event. So when we got there with our Rickshaw Stop truck in tow the conversation went kinda like this:
Mark: “Huh, what happened?
Sameer: “You haven’t checked your phone?”
Mark: “Holy $%^& you towed it here!?!?”
Sameer: “Had to bro…”   
☺
Obviously, the Ranger Creek Crew was stoked and happy to have us, ☺ so we had a great day there serving up our tasty street food to all the wonderful folks who attended the Open House and we even met a few new friends. And then the tow truck dude towed us back to BoB! We parked the truck and left the keys with the competent crew of 210 Customs.

Meagan and I flew off to Cozumel the next morning, wish you could’ve been there…

We got back from the no email/cell phone zone (aka PARADISE) and of course Cameron & his crew had fixed the truck - turns out it was a rather minor issue. (If you must know, they adjusted the carburetor.) ;-P

Thanks for reading, hasta luego.
