We call them the Klopek's. If you've ever seen (my favorite movie of all time) The 'Burbs, you'll know what I mean. Just a weird, weird bunch. This morning, as I was leaving for work at 5:00 am, I opened the garage and I could hear tree branches breaking. Their 13 or 14 year old daughter was out on their front lawn breaking branches off their willow tree, and throwing them on the ground. Nobody else out there.... and when she saw me, she darted into the house. LOL.... just an odd bunch.
You were a witness.
You should check your car brake lines every morning.

My wife has a huge Econoline passenger van for just that reason. On vacation, she don't leave nothing behind.

I posted a possible lie earlier. I thought I'd be ready for primer this weekend. It's going to take some doing to get there.... I forgot that I am going to the air show all day Saturday. That leaves me tonight and tomorrow to get things done.

I don't mean to sound crude... but I really gotta lay some cable, and someone's been in the restroom at work for about 45 minutes. Geez.... get off FB for **** sakes.

Admittedly.... I've started taking my impact and some tools when we go on a long trip.

Is that bad? LOL

It's almost like some women don't understand that you can buy stuff when you get there,
Like " Honey, the car is full, they sell toilet paper at the beach too. We don't need to take a whole box with us, just a couple rolls."

I've had cars like that too....

That's preparedness. Like having a spare tire.

yep..i know the feeling. Don't get me wrong i have no issue with taking some sodas and stuff especially sunscreen down with us, cheaper up here than down there but good lord my mom was good for taking half a damn pantry with us. Like 2 24 bottle cases of water.

My 97 F150 has only failed me once, and that was in my driveway.
It tried to set itself on fire, but it didn't.

It has never failed me away from home.

In the old days it was, - you would need to take the compressor as well for at least one of those tools mentioned. Yea, that's a little ate up lol.
