Boy, what a mess...

I have four leads. They keep trying to get the best of me, and each other, in harmless practical jokes. For instance on monday, I was taking a couple of leads to get trucks across town because the motors on the machines went down. I needed the trucks, and it was late in the day. The lead remaining in the yard did not hear me tell him what we were doing, so he asked one of the guys going with me, and he told him I was taking them to Dairy Queen.
Next day, had another truck in a different shop. I took the lead with me that was told we were going to Dairy Queen with me. While we were out getting the truck, we stopped at Dairy Queen and brought the evidence home with us.
Yesterday, I heard that two of the leads were plotting a practical joke on me. I love New York style pizza, and they were going to bring the debris back to the yard to taunt me. (really, they could do a better job then that.)
So yesterday, my wife and I went to our Bond writers office to secure a bond for a new contract. On the way home I get a panicked call. "Scott, you had a can of blue spray paint in the back of your truck that exploded. There is paint all over the side of Scarlet, (My super duty that is in perfect shape) and the hearse (my Ford Flex that I just bought for a run around vehicle.)
Since this is one of the leads, I tell him, "Shawn, if you are lying to me, you are fired." I guess he turned white.
We proceed to talk about how to clean off the paint. We decided the best way was to use World's Best Graffiti Cleaner safe wipes, and take it off. Can I say, I had a little fear and trepidation? My pristine truck was covered in paint, which I saw when I got back to my yard.
Results were, the mist was cleaned off the Flex, and my truck cleaned up just fine. Thank goodness I had a bunch of graffiti cleaner at the yard, that wouldn't kill the paint on my truck.
 
Morning Scott, did the safe wipes people pay you an endorsement to post this story?
 
Nope, not at all. I am kind of sorry I did not take pictures of the mess. It came out well, and even the sheen was not damaged on my truck. I am thrilled, but I was shocked that this came out so well. I was half expecting a repaint of Scarlet.
 
I want to hear more about the new contract you had to get a bond for....if you can share...

See Doug you know what the important part of the story is...

Glad it came out for you Scott.
 
More bus stops. It is a sizable contract, though not nearly my biggest.
 
That is great Scott, Congratulations!
