This past week was extremely long and difficult.
It was a scorcher and the temperatures were almost 100 degrees every single day. It was hot outdoors and the heat and humidity always make me feel tired and lazy. I didn’t want to go to work on Friday, because I knew it was going to be busy. I was scheduled to install a ductless AC unit in the east side neighborhood. I loaded up my truck at the workshop. I had everything necessary to complete the ductless HVAC unit installation job. I found the address and used the GPS system to find accurate directions. I arrived at the first job on my schedule. I talked to the customer for a few minutes, and then I started unloading the truck with all of my tools and the equipment necessary to complete the job. As I was walking back to the work truck from the garage area, I saw the tires start to roll. At first I thought it was a mirage, but then I saw the wheel moving faster and faster. I couldn’t get to the truck before it rolled out of the driveway. Thankfully, a curb stopped the truck from rolling into the neighbor’s lawn. I know it would have been expensive to replace all of the award winning roses in the front yard. From now on, I’m going to start using the parking brake at all times. That was one scary moment and I could have been in a lot of trouble. The damages to the other lawn and house would have been severe.
