Last Minute Complete LAX Fiasco for my Neighbors Alaska Fishing Trip . . .

[Desert Whaler]

So my neighbor's had a Rough-Go the last few years.
Wife passed away, shortly after he took a header on a long range trip aboard a 2- day trip and was down w/ knee injury for a few months.
Shortly after he passed-out in the Stater Bros parking lot and smacked his head on the concrete, spent a month in the hospital w/ a brain bleed.
So he booked an Alaska Fishing trip w/ his bro who's a commercial fisherman.
Super Shuttle was supposed to pick them up today at 7:00 am.
But they called last minute and cancelled, saying some BS about how their van broke down and were unable to provide shuttle service.
So I get the call for a lift to LAX . . . 'Fuck Yeah' I said, . . . no way I'm not helping those fuckers out, they're legends!
So I grabbed my phone, wallet, a cup of Joe, & a can of dip and said, "Let's Go Fuckers"!!!!
I hadn't battled rush-hour traffic in YEARS . . . I JOOKED so many ! Right hand turns from the #2 lane instead of the #3 !
Pulled into the Alaska terminal right on time, kicked the boys to the curb with their back packs & said, "Go Have Fun Boys"!!!
Damn it feels good to help out the old guys a little !
I snapped a pic at the curb before I bolted . . . Looks like they were stoked . . . good times !!!!!

NICE JOB! Been to Sitka many times to fish salmon and halibut. It’s amazing and always a great time.

Good for you! I had that happen to me as well, got woken up by my mom at 3:00am asking if I could take her and my step dad to LAX because their shuttle was a no show. Corona to LAX and back to corona for work at 6:00 lol

That's what friends are supposed to do. Help out when things look like hell, sweat or bleed for the high wages of a slice of pizza and a soda...
Good friends are rare, and sometimes you don't realize how good they are until your flat busted.

You're one of the good ones!
