Marcus is too frugal to loan the pickup to joe.

“Uh, sorry Joe, but as soon as Charlene is done with it I’m having it air freighted to Hawaii.”

Most of that stuff looks good enough for the local thrift store! My grandmom loved going to New Jersey for Village Thrift..

Looks like it’s time for some winter cleaning.

“ahold”? His mother would not approve.

Sanford & Son theme music playing in the background.

19.99 U-Haul

I had a rusty ‘73 Buick Century which my kids called the Brown Bomber.

There are lots of trash removal services that will come and haul it away. Money is not a problem for Joe’s family and it’d be a lot faster than trying to get all that stuff hauled out of there on ONE pickup truck.

Marcus’s truck is a longer-term project than the pyramids of Giza and I-45 through Houston

That truck spends 1% of the time being driven, and 91% of the time being repaired by Charlene.

In other words, it’s a classic.

(It’s parked the other 8% of the time.)

It looks like Marcus is in Hawaii, but apparently, his truck is still in Philly. I guess it has to stay close to Charlene.

Mike Schmidt’s autograph is way down at the bottom of the pile.

And also Bennie Briscoe fight programs

No Marcus, but he should.

The last time I loaned my pickup out, I had to replace its old twitchy clutch.
