My neighbor Gus

[Hank70SS]

Okay, I told you Gus said the installer could have nicked the rear main seal while installing the trans in the other thread.

Sunday morning I see Gus and Darryl, Darryl has the new 70 SS convertible, standing in the street at the end of Gus's driveway. So I walk over while the old guy, Gus, and Darryl are talking. He wants to know if I saw anyone drive down his street early that morning because there's a pile of dirt in the road. Looked like it fell off a truck and you could see dually mud tire marks inline with it. We're talking about a few ounces of dirt/mud out in the street.

A blacktop street with no curbs or sidewalks. Sweep it off the side of the road and be done with it. No, he has a coal shovel, broom and a small box to scrap and pick up the mud off the road. Was it the newspaper delivery people? Maybe the guys doing the brick work on his chimney came back at 7:00 AM Sunday to see what needed to be fixed and then left. Ya, that was probably it Gus. They're an hour away and drove to your house at 7:00 AM Sunday to see what they needed to do on Monday. Yup, pretty sure that must be it.

The reason Darryl was out there talking to Gus was because Gus called him. He was under his new Chevelle greasing it and decided to just walk over and see what Gus wanted. You guessed it, he wanted to know if Darryl saw anyone come down the street that morning.

Now this street, we're on the corner, only goes about 400' then ends in a court. It feeds the house behind us, Darryl, Gus and another house on the other side from us. There's always cars and trucks driving in there until they figure out it's a deadend.

Gus was ready to call in CSI to find out who dropped this mud on the street in front of his house.

More in part two.
