My truck is an awesome truck.

gridloreHad two errands to run today, the first was dropping off my last timecard of the school year at the station with a whopping six hours on it.
Then I took Darby the Ford Ranger over to Precision Tune Auto Care for his 60,000 mile service. I love my little white truck and want to keep him for as long as possible.
They were short-handed, so the "courtesy shuttle" ended up be me driving home with the manager. Got picked up the same way. It was nice, as we had a chance to talk about any issue I've been having. I like these people, they're good, efficient, and honest.
About two hours after I left Darby with them, I got a call. They were suggesting that my sparkplugs and wiring should be replaced. As I was still on the original set Darby came with, this made sense. Expensive, but it made sense. This is why we have an emergency credit card.
After picking up Darby, and making a run to Rite Aide because -miracle of miracles - my Xarelto was in stock when I put the refill order in this morning (usually I have to wait a business day or two as it's an expensive item that they don't stock a lot of) I decided that Darby really needed a bath and I needed an excuse to just drive for a little while. Our preferred car wash is the Rotten Robbie nearkshandra's office. $13 for a touchless, quite thorough was, wax, and dry.
Back home and chilling in anticipation of Payday Pizza. A hallowed tradition here at Offhand Manor.
