Life needs to stop for five minutes so I can write blog posts. JEEZ this week is crazy and it is only WEDNESDAY. Anyway I had a lesson on Sunday (which seems like ten years ago by now).

Yes. My truck. Is in the shop. Again. WTF. Something up front is leaking now and if it turns out something else chewed (hence voiding the warranty paying again) I will go and strangle very single squirrel I see outside.
