Ive been concentrating on getting my name out there for towing . So, far, Im not getting rich, but really enjoying getting out of the shop, seeing different places, and getting to play with big trucks . Ill share some pics of my new to me Peterbilt project pretty soon.
I signed up for the Honk app. Just this morning, I completed my first tow for them . That went smooth. They pay for crap, but its a good way to put a few bucks in the pocket, and get my truck running up and down the road, to get some visibility . Up till this point, Ive just been towing for exisiting clients, and word of mouth stuff .
Anyhow, Ill get to my point.
Phish was in town last night . I didnt go , but friends did
My Honk app went off 2 times in the last 45 minutes.
Both times, it was for broken down VW busses . One a 70 camper van, and the other a 74 vanagon.
This brought back fond memories . More than once, when I was a young lad, I repaired a vw bus for someone in the parking lot of a dead show, or at the campground.
Right when I first started my biz, the morning after the Grateful Dead show here in Pittsburgh in the early 90's, I came to work to find 2 broken down vw busses in my parking lot .
I couldnt pay my electric bill that week, but had enough grilled cheeses, weed, and even a dream catcher to show for my hard work .
I did not take any of the tows this am, as they were all on the other side of town, but I did , for a second consider it just for old times sake .
An old bus is still on my radar for an up and coming project . They are bringing silly money currently . I think I paid 300 for mine when I bought it in 92. Put a 2.0 from a 914 in it , that I paid 150 for, and I was off to the races. Drove that thing all over the east coast
