Not about mexican food

Though I did some of that also.

No, I stopped into a cutthroat station in Traverse City Michigan, ( I was about sucking fumes) and bought three gallons of petrol, and on trying to start the ride in the AM (planned to hit the station first) the damned truck wouldn’t start.

Had NO TIME to dick with it, I was on a job and had to get it done. SO I called a towtruck and they took it away, a colleague drove me to my jobsite.

An hour later, the guy calls, “I cannot find anything wrong. It runs fine. It did seem to have some crappy gas in it, so I put in some fresh and it’s running fine”

To a guy who’s oversensitive to his truck running, this was a HUGE relief. And I managed to get out of dodge and home in time for the Oglet’s softball picnic, which was doubly nice.

First time I evber saw the daughter’s team not in uniform, first time I noticed they’re ALLL heathers.

Then it dawned on me, the Daughter is a damned heather. Have to keep my eye on that.

No surprise, as I’m in a “smoking” hotel room. Doesn’t smell bad, just not as fresh as I’m used to. I keep the window open.

I can’t understand how someone would drop ash all over and burn carpet, though, That’s just asinine. Someone did that shit in my house and I’d insert a large blue balled Vervet monkey in him.

I have been told for years that I should have gout. I have been taking allopurinol for many years, though for the last six months I have not. I keep hearing “you should experience a flareup anytime now”

SO last friday night, when my right baby toe started to give me some grief, I thought, yeah, here it is. All that warning, and finally I’ve got it. I dragged out the Alopurinol, and hoped I’d caught it in time and didn’t need to spend three days on the john.

And then the wife catches me.

“You don’t have Gout, you have a shitty memory. You dropped a full frozen bottle of water on it last night, remember? ”

And of course she was correct.
