My Neighbor Part II

Last night as I was getting ready for bed I heard a knock on my front door. It was dark and a bit sketchy especially since the night before, my two friends, Clarke and Prescott came by at 11:45. I was dead asleep after having gone to be at 9:30 and heard this banging on the door. I didn't have my phone on and it was so scary. It was worst case scenario for a woman living by herself. Yes, I should have just stayed in bed and pretended I wasn't home but I answered the door to find two dudes in cowboy hats, tight jeans, plaid tucked-in shirts, and boots wasted at my door. Scary. But it was two of my favorite people out here so I let them in and we chatted for a while. Telling me all sorts of secrets.

Anyway, back to Chuck. So I am brushing my teeth and in my jammies and I flick the porch light on and its Chuck. My first thought is oh shit he is wasted and wants to chill. I open the door and he is all smiles with this bizarre sling on. Basically a harness around his chest and one arm is attached. WTF.

So I am like what happen. And smiling Chuck says, I fell off a quad while riding over sagebrush.
What is a quad?
A four wheeler.
Oh. What were you doing partying?
No. Cowboying.
Oh. OK.
Look. (Chuck pulls down his shirt, an undershirt, to reveal a broken bone.)
Gross.

So here I am thinking ok. Neat. Is this dude drunk or what. Does he want to hangout. Is he on painkillers...

And Chuck says, "well the doctor said I might need help and since the old lady is gone I thought I'd ask you. You see I need help to get this off." And then he turned around and showed me the clips in the middle of his back.

I am like ok. I can totally help just come by. And then I tell him I am leaving for 2.5 weeks Tuesday and can't really help.

He smiles and says ok and then leaves.
