Adventures of the rolling green monster Chapter 1
May 15th 2009 16:07
As soon as I saw her I knew she was mine. I was excited as i left the lot driving Caroline my rolling green monster. Of course she was not green and she was far from a monster but oh well that would come .The first night I ended up at my friend Scott's house . He was the one that found Caroline during one of his many trips around Sullivan county working as a convertible bed salesman.
In the morning i awoke and headed for Fenway Park ,Carolines new home.Well I knew she had to be green so i took some chips of paint that had fallen off the green monster and took them to Home Depot.Arriving back on Lansdowne street I started to paint it didn't take long before I had help from fans walkin by.And before I knew it caroline was green .My next stop was Blik to pick up stencils.Stencils in hand I returned the next day and thru most of the summer painting and repainting parts I was not pleased with . During the summer I did some street preforming to earn money I had a box that I would stand in so i looked like a midget makin tips before games playin little dustin, a policeman came up to me while I was doing my routine and ordered me off the corner so I moved down the street. About a half hour later he was back telling me my vehicle was being towed .
Finding the rgm gone i went to bail her out but they wouldnt release her except to a tow truck so mike sent one and the rgm went back to mikes for repairs after repairs i drove back to fenway to park and in the morning had a ticket for no inspection sticker on my window.so i went to get inspected and failed . It was getting dark and the rgm was acting funny so I pulled into Duff Spring in Medford something that I would live to regret.In the morning I meet Frank Duff and explained my circumstances to him .He told me not to worry before i left Caroline would be in tip top shape.Frank put me to work to take my mind of my troubles and for the next month i swepped and painted and helped out around the shop.during this time the rgm sat out front .with me painting it in my free time to reflect where we were in the playoffs. Thanks to Frank i was able to go down to Lansdowne st. and camp out for tickets. With a loss to the Rays the sox season was over and things started to go downhill at Duff Spring.I didn't get along with Todd one of Franks workers ,and with the death of Franks mother in law. are arguing was more than Frank could handle. so i was asked to hit the road.not only was no work done on the rgm but i was handed a bill for close to a thousand dollars for storage.and a check for a couple of hundred dollars since I did do work there .Well back to mikes were he put on a new exhaust system and fixed the brakes.
Then it was to middleboro my home town to get inspected and as luck would have it be in the christmas parade. Then it was off to McCoy stadium and the first of many accidents.it seems when stadium auto body towed it they broke park.. when I was in the park caroline rolled into another vehicle.well information was exchanged and nobody was hurt and I went my way and headed up to Maine to continue my tour
