Ok, so my wife - God bless her - sees that it's such a nice day out and tells me to go get some things done and she'd "deal" without my help as much as possible while she's recovering from her foot/ankle surgery.... AWESOME! 
So, I get to play with my new trailer for a few hours, setting up a new bed-mounted crane, some tongue reinforcement and what not...... and Kiefer is over B.S.-ing with me and helping out and his phone rings.....
Some goober with a lifted white Ford F250 is stuck playing in mud holes..... on private property, trespassing, making us 4x4 enthusiasts look like total asshats...... a place that SOMEONE warned him about a while back..... Well, something breaks and his 4WD quits working - he's good and stuck. He's calling Kiefer for help - apparently having exhausted his other contacts/options. Kiefer knows this mud hole and he knows his stocker has no business going to try to pull an F250 out......
Me, going against my better judgement, confirms with my wife that she can do without me for a while longer, and I offer to finish up what I'm doing and haul out there and help pull the goober out..... hopefully before Johnny Law gets out there and tickets the guy. The goober says he has someone with a Grand Cherokee that "might" be coming to help. I tell Kiefer to tell him we'll call back in a few to see if he needs us. 20 minutes later, he says he'd like us to come out there. Okee dokee then.
I grab a strap, the D-rings off the XJ bumper, a flashlight and jacket and haul keester out there - about 20 miles away from me.
I get there, and see what appears to be goober and another TJ stuck. It's pretty dark, but nothing's moving, no mud is being tossed....... Last I'd heard, goober was needing help. So...... I drive the dually through 200 yards of sloppy, sticky clay-mud road to the mud hole...... only to see that in fact the TJ was pulling the goober's truck out and I wasn't needed.
No call to tell me he'd gotten help. Even if his cell phone went dead, his TJ buddy had one to call from..... nothing.
I'm a little peeved so I just bail......... back through all that mucky crap. Hit the street and I'm sending rooster tails of the goo all over everything..... Some of the goo got into the inside surfaces of my wheels.... now everything is out of balance on the highway......
Figure I'd better get to the car wash before this crap turns to concrete on the truck........ 40 minutes and $17 later....... I get that crap out from between the rear tires, knocked loose from the running boards, out from the INSIDES of my wheels......
Oh, did I mention that the goober was mud bashing while trespassing on private property making us 4x4 enthusiasts look like asshats? The SAME place that SOMEONE warned him about a while back?
Rant off.
