fill the tires and for god sake run a rag over the dash/instruments.  Jesus.

Tires are filled. Will get the TPMS reset with my next service. Fighting the dirt/dust is a losing battle.

I’ll allow it. My truck never leaves cruise control. I think in the wife’s car and our Jeep the CC automatically turns off.

Yeah, I’ve had both. I prefer it when it’s always on and ready to set rather than having to remember to turn it on every time before I set it. Because sometimes I forget and don’t realize it until I’ve decelerated by 5+ mph.

Here’s an exercise I like to do from time to time. I smoked a pack a day for about 15-17 years. Quit cold turkey in Jan 2003.

20 in a pack. 30 days = 600 cigarettes a month.

600*12 = 7,200 cigarettes a year.

17.5 years at 7,200 per = 126,000 cigarettes I haven’t smoked.

Fucking shit adds up.

I quit my pack a day in 1976.

I’ll let you do the math.

Y’all’s math doesn’t add up.

If you had kept smoking, you would not have smoked all those cigs. No, you would have died long before you reached those numbers. 

This is the same reason the state lawsuits against big tobacco don’t add up.  They claim that smoking costs the state money because of increased health care costs for smokers. The truth is something different. Smokers actually save the state money because they die earlier, avoiding costly elder care and long slow declines. The government should be encouraging smoking if it wants to save money.

This is not even close to true, at least partially because you ignore lost productivity as a direct cost of smoking.

Was asked to fill the wife's car last week while she showered as she had a meeting she couldn't be late for. I put in 19.96 gallons into a 20 gal tank. SMH. So glad the station wasn't one block further.

Came up short by about a block once.  Thankfully was able to coast into a parking lot, walk to the gas station, purchase a gas can, get a gallon of gas, walk back to her car, put the gallon in the tank, drive to the gas station, fill her car up, and return home.  This occurred in August.  Upon entering the house I was greeted with the following: “What took so long and why are you all sweaty?”

funny how they have a phone surgically sew into their hand at all times, yet if they arent the ones doing the errand, and they wonder where you are, they suddenly have no reason to use the phone

She was preoccupied with getting ready.  I got to hop in the shower and get dressed for the second time that afternoon.

Me: I gonna sell this toy work bench and tools okay? Buddy hasn’t played with it in a while.

Her: Okay. 

 

5 minutes before the buyer shows up after confirming everything that’s included…

Her: Why are you selling the drill? Can we keep the drill?

Me: OMFG, I told you and Buddy to look through it to see if you wanted to keep any part of it.

Her: Tone

Church starts at 10:00.

The kids and I were ready at 9:55 (yes we're gonna be about 10 minutes late).

10:10 rolls around and I fire up the church's live stream.

10:20, wife comes down and says, hurry up guys, we're gonna be late for church.

 

Guess who stayed at home watching the live stream?

Saturday we wanted to leave by 12 to get the girl to girl scout camp 2 hours away. At 11 the car is packed, everyone is showered and dressed. Wife says "wow I can't believe we got ready so quickly this time."

Guess what time we left.

I’d at least try a test by soaking a piece in a mix of hot water and Mr. Clean or something similar, then rinsing it in clean hot water, then laying it out to dry and see what happens.

Using Google maps to plan the route from Charleston back to Drip.

There is an approx. 20 ~ 35 minute difference in going S to Jacksonville & hanging a R vs. more direct route across Bumblefuck Georgia / Bumblefuck Bammer.

This confuses her, even though I have explained that the Googs will incorporate construction, speed limits, etc.

Also: "Shouldn't we avoid that route [Florida] to avoid storms?"

Me: "That was Hurricane ---> Tropical Storm Elsa from last week."

Storms of the past.  Storms of the future.  They all hit Florida.

We need to buy a new car seat for toddler.   Not urgent so we are waiting to find a good deal on the one we want.  

This exchange happened this morning:

Wife:  Oh no!  We missed the sale yesterday on the car seat!  (She goes on to tell me it was a 1-day only sale)

Me:  We have time, there might be some more sales. 

Wife:  I knew I should have bought it yesterday.  

Me:  ….what do you mean?  Did you see it yesterday?

Wife:  Yes, but I didn’t think it would only last 1 day.  

Me:  You just told me it was a 1-day sale.

Wife:  Well sometimes they last longer than a day.  
 

In summary, my wife was mad that the 1-day sale only lasted 1 day.  Despite her first noticing it while the sale was still going on.

This one got me.  No rage, just laughing my ass off.

  I know it's a work truck and all but how does one get that much dirt on the instrument panel?
