Manly

For those of you living in a bubble, last week a hurricane blew through Texas. We just got high winds and a ton of rain where I live. Our electricity kept clicking on and off, and sometime during that our refrigerator broke. We spent about two hours on Saturday cooking a ton of meat to keep it from spoiling. I tell you this to explain why I stayed home yesterday.

I woke up to the repair man calling to tell me he would be late. So I got up and decided to work on my truck. I love working on my truck nothing makes me feel more manly than doing auto work. All I did yesterday was an oil change and I changed out all the plug wires for new ones. Its amazing how important I feel when I do these little things. Some where in doing this I mess up a fuse again and it would start. Talk about a huge blow to the ego. Here I am thinking I am the manlyest man in the entire world, go to start it an nothing. (ouch my pride) I am officially not ever taking the truck to an auto shop again. They charged me 100.00 to put a fuse in my truck. That is wrong. It was like 10 dollars in parts and 90 in labor. I could have done it myself for way less than that. I will not be making that mistake again. I would rather ride my bike than pay some one to look at my truck, then try and stick it to me. I ended up missing a whole day of work which sucks but had to be done cause the repair man didn't show up until a little before 2:00pm. They were supposed to be there between 8:00am-12:00pm. The dreaded four hour window. During all this I get a call from the tow truck driver and he tells me that he broke my mirror and that he needs a couple days to get me a new one. I called the office where he works and he told me he will get one today. We will see but at least I have called the office so that if he doesn't I will get me new mirrors.

I am getting rally excited about looking at all the land my mom wants to look into buying. I hope Marilyn is ready to take some pictures. It is going to be so much fun to spend that day hiking around my new potential camping ground. This is all going down Saturday.

Last night I went over to my buddies house. I really like hanging out with him. I need to invite him over though this friendship is so one sided and I feel bad.
