Chapter Five – The Shop

Suzy pulled out onto the street as she informed, "Not bad for a half a day's work. Now it's back to the house to clear out a spot for your bed."

On the drive back to Lambert Jim questioned, "What's on the schedule for tomorrow?"

Suzy replied, "First thing we need to do is go to the farm and pay Steve. I was thinking we should give him a bonus. We don't want to lose him, and he's been running the whole show by himself."

Jim agreed, "That sounds good to me. Then what after that?"

Suzy responded, "Then we could go to the Cow Girl's for breakfast. I would also like to check out the Museum in town."

Jim replied, "You mean Miss Tomson's Boardinghouse? That's what it was for almost 100 years. If you haven't been there then you should go. I'd like to see it again too. I haven't been there since I was young."

Suzy questioned, "Which things do you need first from the stuff you printed out?"

Jim replied, "I would have to say the tires and Rim's. I need to be able to move the truck around. The shredded pieces of rubber and rims on there now won't work."

Back at the house Jim and Suzy picked out a place for Jim's bed. Then Jim started moving and stacking boxes. Suzy suggested, "You can clean out this spot and wait for the bed, and I'm going to go see about getting the tires for the truck."

Jim agreed, "Go down to that big place on Grand."

Suzy nodded and left.

At the tire store Suzy showed the sales clerk the tires and rim's she wanted. He looked on the computer and disclosed, "It's going to take about two weeks to get the tires. I have to have them shipped out of Texas. The rims don't look any different. Looks like I can get some from Portland and the rest out of Seattle."

Suzy questioned, "Can't we get them like 2 or 3 day shipped?

The clerk questioned. "Do you have an account?"

Suzy replied, "Check Jim Hanson."

He typed on the computer and disclosed, "You're not going to like it. It looks like it will be over $500 for shipping the tires and close to that for the rims."

Suzy slipped her messenger bag from her shoulder. Then she announced, "I'll expect them mounted and balanced by next Wednesday."

The clerk Insisted, "I'll need a large deposit on a special order like that."

Suzy responded, "I'll pay for it all. Just give me the price."

The clerk's eyes opened wide "Let me call the warehouse in Taxes." After spending a few on the phone he went back to the computer. Then some paper work started printing out. Pulling the documents from the printer he walked to the counter. Then pointing at the price he disclosed, "This is it right here."

Pulling out her checkbook she added, "I'm putting another $500 on the account. I need a truck out to the farm tomorrow. We can't get the old wheels off, and I need your guy to do it for us."

The clerk questioned, "Do you know when they were last off?"

Suzy smiled, "World War Two maybe"

The clerk replied, "Oh, I'll tell him, so tomorrow and Wednesday it is."

Walking out the door Suzy called Jim. "Hello," Echoed over Suzy's phone.

She questioned, "Did the bed come yet?"

Jim replied, "I'm putting it together now."

Suzy inquired, "How about pizza for something to eat?"

Jim replied, "That works."
