I just got this email a few minutes ago from my would be young helper

Hey rick
I’m not going to be able to make it tomorrow, my girlfriend had an 
emergency and I’m going to be going down to la crosse Wisconsin tonight. 
I feel really bad that its so  last minute. Maybe we can plan it for 
another day?

I have a cement truck here at 7AM tomorrow. I don't know why I ever 
believe these characters. Always some explanation. My dog ate my 
homework kind of thing.
