or what exactly it was I did to anger the gods,but they are paying me back in friggin' spades!! Still reeling from the power surge that has incapacitated my computer and fried a few other eletrical items in our home and today...
Kath and I get a freakin' flat tire, which in and of itself isn't such a bad thing. I can change a flat with little to no problem...usually. This time however it wasn't to be so easy. I get out the spare and the jack...place the jack appropriately and begin to raise the car. I get the car raised a bit and it starts to slide forward off the jack. So I reposition the jack and give it a go again...with the same results AND the jack bends and gets stuck under the car! Kathy whips out the AAA card and gives them a ring. At this point my pride is mortally wounded. They show up, take a look at the jack and tell me I'm lucky it didn't kill me. Apparently these particular jacks have a habit of buckling on people. I was happy that the guys 1)didn't treat us like dingy girls 2) didn't act like red-neck assholes. They were very funny and way cool.
Oh well, all's well that ends well right? Kathy's taking the car to Walmart to get a new tire. Although I like the fact that my girlfriend smiles so brightly as she watches me change the tire on our car, I H*A*T*E getting dirty... I am probably the biggest priss around! I'm going to go hop in the shower now. Any volunteers to help me wash my back?~wink~
