1:35 PM After the yellow utility truck shedding concrete dust parked here again, i parked my truck instead for the last couple of days. Today at 8:45 AM got an email from the management saying i should vacate the spot for F6 (upstairs, marked 54) or my truck is at risk to be towed starting that moment.

I noticed hours earlier, or after that email there was a car in my spot (F5, marked 55) and later i saw two guys in it. Is it possible that they just moved here and they were there all morning, waiting for me to remove the truck?

The interesting part is they did not make any noise upstairs, cause i would have known they are moving here today and removed the truck, without opening the email.

Then i found a Thursday spot and and then saw a visitor spot after a truck from the construction firm with a trailer that was parked sideways occupying 4 or 5 spots moved away and then i parked there and then i saw a guy who probably belonged with them looking pissed, he came next to were i parked but did not say nothing and then next to the apartment when i got back and probably saw i moved my truck from F6 to that one acting again pissed cause he did not understand why i left the F6 spot to move there.

And of course the two guys who stayed here all morning in my spot, or my new upstairs neighbors left and now they were two empty spots and the man looked puzzled as why i had to move mine in the spot he was counting for.

8:16 One thing i did not say because i did not believe it was important was when i tried to move the truck (the lot is on a slight grade) i first let it backwards by gravity, turned the wheel and the truck at about 45 degrees and when i released the clutch the "point of balance" or when the clutch engages was not as i was used to with this truck and it moved backwards a meter or two until i hit the brakes. Could have hit one of the white SUVs on the other side of the alley and that is the key to all story.

It happened with this truck in the past, when it lost the hydraulic fluid and i replaced the clutch (Steve the Korean) like three times, unnecessarily. Last clutch has only a few thousand miles (l@10) on it. This truck is actually an ISUZU Hombre, branded Chevrolet S10 (GM in collaboration with ISUZU) and it had since it was new an exhaust leak at the engine. Whatever. Need to add some brake fluid in it and purge it.

I actually wanted to look in the spot for leaks but here came that guy from the construction company and distracted me and now there is a car there (and nobody moved upstairs yet).

The two guys were waiting here since this morning (probably after that email) stayed until i moved were probably supposed to be the whatness. And yes i left in a hurry after i read the email and my hair looked like Einstein's when he was almost bald.
