Trucks, Mexican Food, and a Bombfire

Yesterday was the day to load our trucks for Freedom Experience. We have our big freightliner, a rental box truck, and a 15 passenger van. The eleventyseven guys, several from our office, and a couple of interns were ready to load everything up at about 10am yesterday. However, the rental truck broke down right at the end of the road. We waited so long for a mechanic to get there. When he finally did, he got it started again and said that it would be fine, they just couldn't ever shut it off! We are planning on driving it to Corpus Christi, TX and not bring it back until next Saturday. Good idea!

We finally decided to go with another rental company near our house. It worked out even better financially anyway. After all this, we didn't get the new truck until about 3pm. Then, we loaded it while some others drove to the office to pick up some other stuff.

At about 6pm, we were done. Most of the office people left, but a couple of other friends and one of the bmx riders joined us. We all piled in the 15 passenger van and drove to a mexican restaurant down the street to eat. After that, we came home and had a huge bonfire. We call them bombfires because they are so HUGE! It was fun!!!

It's funny because eleventyseven says that every time we eat with them, it always mexican food. What's funny is that we don't eat mexican food that often. It just always ends up that we do with those guys.
