Truck Terrorist
I purchased oil/filters on the way to work. Prior to that, though, I'd done the dishes, put up a batch of mead in the primary fermenter, loaded my pipe with some Cherokee tabacco, washed my utility trailer, welded back some hardware on it that didn't get enough penetration, and made my lunch.
Of course, being busy today is no excuse. I even did my semi-annual testing at work before I got a chance to put the truck on the lift at the auto hobby shop. As I got underneath it, I noted that the oil pan had never been that clean during a change before. In fact, I noticed the universal was still glazed. In fact, I recalled being annoyed when it was more wet and dripping all over the driveway...about a month ago. I'd changed it in December, then my wife's and then my daughters and simply forgot about it.
I'm 48 and today I realize that I was probably smartest about four years ago when I started my current job. It's obvious now I'm getting stupider. I'm not even sure stupider is really a word. Instead of being upset, though, I intend to go with it.
Today, I've chosen to forget that whole PMD misery thing. Tomorrow, I intend to forget "Steak Sauce". Saturday, I want to forget how annoying removing the vacuum pump was. Heaven knows what's next. What are you willing to forget?
