This is a little lighter fair for ya'll...
Had to go and pick up some stuff from Lowes. Best bet for the job, was the bus. After all, picking up 4x8 sheets in a passenger van in no fun. So, off I go... since I'm right across the way, dear wifey has me pick up a few items from Stuff*Mart. Items include some rubbermaid containers, bagels, and milk.
Pick up my stuff from Lowes, and go over to walmart. I've got stuff loaded all the way up and to the front. Not much room for anything else. So, all the grocery/walmart items have to go into the front of the bus. So, I begin loading up my grocery items. Put the milk and bagels into Rubbermaid containers to make efficient use of space. I turn around and the container slides out the swing out passenger entry door, and the milk hits the ground and starts leaking. Quickly I put it up into the container and push it up into the passenger area.
It's only about 8am now, and I'm starving. I had picked up a little breakfast in the front of Walmart and quickly grabbed it and started eating. Next stop was Tractor Supply across the highway. So, I'm waiting for the light to turn green, and eating my breakfast in the driver's seat. Green light and go... and as I'm making the left turn on to the north bound lane, low and behold the passenger door comes flying open from where it wasn't latched properly. If I could have seen the look on the people's faces at the traffic light waiting as this newly purchased 18 gallon Rubbermaid container and lids are now airbourne with milk in now are sailing across the intersection. I got to miss the look on their faces as the look of "oh nuts!" and breakfast burrito coming out of my nose.... pull over the bus, quickly run back and pick up the assorted goods now strune across the roadway. So I throw all the merchanidise back on the bus, and slide down in the seat so no one can identify this incompetent bus driver.
Get to Tractor supply... and the one thing I needed wasn't there... so that left turn was for nothing.
Now time to head home. I pull into the driveway. Since Bus Too doesn't have the side access doors like the original 6.5 bus one, I have to enter through the passenger entry door. So, I carefully unlatch the door. I come around to the side of the bus to open the door, and just before I get to the door, it swings open, and out falls a Rubbermaid container and the remains of a once full gallon of milk.
I come in the house with this look on my face. I hand my dear wife a little less than 3 quarts of milk... the look was something to the effect of "I hope you really appreciate the heroics I went through to bring you this gallon of milk..."
This story is only second to the one of having to purchase feminane products... but that has no diesel relation, so I'd be a bit off topic at best. Hope this brighten's your day.
