Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a carpenter in Adams is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s blazin’ through my window on Maple St. I’m thinkin’, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
First stop, I hit up the hardware store on Main St. I’m lookin’ for some 2x4s, ya know? But the guy behind the counter, Dave, he’s just standin’ there, jawin’ away about the weather. Like, dude, I don’t care if it’s sunny or if the sky’s fallin’. I need my wood! Finally, I grab what I need and bolt outta there.
Next, I’m headin’ over to this job on Elm St. It’s a sweet little bungalow, but the client? Ugh. She’s got more ideas than a Pinterest board. “Can we make the kitchen pop?” “What about a farmhouse sink?” Lady, it’s a kitchen, not a Hollywood set! I’m tryin’ to keep my cool, but inside, I’m like a pressure cooker ready to blow.
So, I’m workin’ away, hammerin’ and sawin’, when I hear this loud crash outside. I peek out the window, and there’s this dude on a bike, totally wiped out on the sidewalk. I’m talkin’ full-on cartoon style, legs in the air, floppin’ around. I can’t help but laugh. I mean, c’mon, it’s Adams! You gotta expect some shenanigans.
After that, I’m back to work, and I finally get the cabinets up. They look good, real good. I’m feelin’ proud, ya know? But then, the client walks in, and she’s like, “Hmm, I thought they’d be more... rustic?” I’m thinkin’, “Lady, I’m not a magician!” But I just smile and nod.
Then, outta nowhere, my buddy Mike calls. He’s like, “Yo, you gotta come to the park on Oak St. There’s a food truck festival!” I’m like, “Dude, I’m knee-deep in sawdust!” But then I remember the tacos. Tacos always win. So, I wrap up the job, and I’m off to the park.
When I get there, it’s a freakin’ madhouse! Food trucks everywhere, people chattin’, kids runnin’ around. I grab a taco, and it’s like a flavor explosion in my mouth. I’m in heaven! But then, I see this guy spill his drink all over a lady. She’s not happy, and I’m tryin’ not to laugh. It’s like a scene from a sitcom.
After stuffin’ my face, I head back home, but not before I take a stroll down River St. The sunset is killer, all orange and pink. I stop for a sec, just takin’ it in. Adams can be beautiful, ya know? But then, I hear this loud honkin’. Some dude in a truck is yellin’ at a pigeon. Like, c’mon man, it’s just a bird!
Finally, I get home, and I’m beat. I flop on the couch, thinkin’ about the day. It was wild, emotional, and a bit ridiculous. But that’s Adams for ya. Full of surprises, laughter, and a whole lotta chaos. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Well, maybe for a lifetime supply of tacos. But that’s it!
