    much so she called me, to ask if I had offered to buy him any food while there (I did) then told him "tuff" he wanted the ride he got it. And finally at stop three, a supermarket 4 miles from home, I needed a few groceries.

    Exotic_Chemist_7624 OP. 13 hr. ago He does usually, but he thinks that should be payment for the time and wear and tear on the vehicle after several "pickups”.
