3PM - Running down the big flight of stairs of my office building, I finally escape the day job. Destination? Jerry's garage, where I am to pack everything up. As I reach the driver's door, I notice I am out of breath. Badly so... My body is taking a beating and it is about to give out on me... I need a break. I need to sleep, to rest, to relax, to empty my head for a day...

But no such luck. There will be no coasting for a while. All I see ahead of me is more uphill rocky roads... And I'm running out of gas...

Agh.

Now pulling in front of Jerry's house, it's just him and I and a shitload of stuff to do. We have a BIG shoot coming at us point blank, and no time to really prepare for it now... This getting behind schedule by 3 days is going to crucify me, I know that... But what choice do I have? I have to bite the bullet and take it like a man.

Wait... I'm NOT a man... So does that mean I can whine and mope and cry like a little girl, then? Cause there's more than one good reason to ... Yeah, no, I don't think so. Jerry and I take down the HUGE tarp and it only weighs, like... 474596564566-56756700045674356 pounds. Jerry is roaming around in his big garage...  I sit in the deuce for just a moment... And fall asleep....

Almost an hour later, Jerry is waking me up...

"I didn't have the heart to wake you up but it is getting late"

Me (groggy) : "???? Oh... SHIT!" I never realized I had fallen asleep in the first place!! I get up... Well at least I think I am up...

Jerry proceeds to measure the deuce and to cut the tarp to convert our previous "wall" into a car cover. Meanwhile, I am wrapping, hauling heaving stuff back and forth to my truck. My biceps are looking damn good these days .

While my body is busy lifting, my brains are busy trying to figure out how we are going to pull the next "coup de force" and tackle the incredible logistic's nightmare we are now confronted with for our upcoming "JOANN scene".

I need to get one deuce, one truck and travel trailer and one car trailer in Fillmore by Friday afternoon. And there's only one of me. And I only have one towing vehicle. The car trailer is all the way down in Orange County no less...

Time to call the cavalry. Today the cavalry is Jeff, my ex. Yes we are still best of friends. In fact I am still great friends will all of my exs (the ones I haven't killed, that is LOL). Jeff is to drive out to OC after he gets off of work at 5PM and brave a good 3 hours of intense crazy ass LA traffic on the 405 to go pick me up that car trailer and then haul it all the way to Fillmore Friday night... I think I am asking wayyy too much of him, but I ask anyway... And since I have never asked for his help with this film yet... He says YES ... He will borrow his roommate's truck to tow the trailer... Ah the good man ...

One down, two to go... Jerry and I pow wow... Friday,  he will drive his Cadillac to my house, leave it there, hop in the truck, tow the trailer while I drive the deuce and we will head out to Fillmore where he will spend the next two days, helping. Jerry's makes reservations at a local hotel. Jerry's wife, Janet, is also a great fan of the film and very supportive. She gives him her blessings. As for me, I will as always, sleep in my little trailer "Houdini". I called him "Houdini" because he is the "Master of Escape" hehehehe...

Now I can finally breathe easier... Looks like we might be able to pull this off afterall... if I can find a camera man by then, that is...

I load up the last bit of gear...  Jerry and I convoy back up to my house, me at the wheel of the deuce, and him following me with the truck and gear.

8PM - We unload all the gear... More biceps for me ...

9:30PM - I drop Jerry's back in Inglewood... And immediately drive right back to West Hills.

10:30PM. I wake up at a red light. Guess I must have dosed off when I stopped... How long was I asleep for?

Yop, I definitely need to rest...

But that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

Below: It is now time to say goodbye to our garage set... but I can't help but feel a little "blue" as we dismantle it entirely...
