--Klutz farm--<br/><br/>"I just meant, well...umm...okay, so maybe congratulations wasn't the right word, but I'm sure glad I met you, Clara, and your Daddy, too. I'll be happy to offer you whatever help you might need with the chores around here, so...congratulations on finding a guy like me." He puffed up his chest all proud-like, and bowed to her formally, nearly falling forward on his face, since he was unfamiliar with the movement.<br/><br/>He stood up and looked around.<br/><br/>"Where shall we begin? Oh, right! I've gotta get the towing equipment set up and get Bubba's truck. I'll stop and fill her up on my way back." He remembered the cause of Marcel's injuries, and said, "Oh, and I think the lasagna's ready." He chuckled and went to prepare his car to tow the truck back. Once he got it all done, he drove down the road, backed the rear bumper up to the truck, got out and hitched up the truck to his vehicle. Dukey took a step back and thought it an odd sight to see a car towing a truck.<em>Usually, it's the other way around, I reckon</em>he thought, shaking his head slowly.<br/><br/>He got back in and went to put the key in the ignition, realizing he must have dropped his keys when he was attaching the truck to the winch. He got out and looked around where he was working, and found his keys. He picked them up, and noticed the message he had left with mustard from earlier, and used his boot to rub away any trace of it.<br/><br/>He started up the car, and slowly drove back up the road, stopping at the gas station and filled the tanks on both vehicles, ignoring the confused looks from people who obviously had never seen a man improvise before, pulling a truck with a car. Then he realized what they were really looking at, as he saw that the weight of the truck was now causing the front end of his car to stick up in the air. "Wait til Bubba hears about this...me poppin' a wheelie while bringing his truck back. Thank goodness for rear wheel drive," he muttered to himself and chuckled.<br/><br/>He made his way back to the farm even more slowly, but arrived in one piece. He placed some jacks under the front of the car so it wouldn't crash down when he unhooked the truck, and did so, lowering the jacks to the ground, and making a show of wiping the sweat from his brow. He looked around for Clara, and figured she'd be back in the house.
