I started the argument with my wife again last night. Got as far as always (nowhere).

I'm going to have to just have one show up one day and let the chips fall where they will, like Doug on King of Queens.

 

I've never started an argument with my wife.
They seems to happen spontaneously without any input from me.

 

Motorcycles are a special case. There is no discussion. So much as an utterance of the word and boom, you're in an argument.

 

I did type a bunch of things here regarding this topic... but my superstitions kicked in. I'm not going to jinx it, LOL.

 

Traded the civic in last night. Work got this 2013 edge traded in. 76k miles. They offered it to us for just over 15k and they gave us 1400 for the honda. I basically threw the keys at them. Lol. Especially after the trans has been showing signs of going out and several other gremlins. We did take an extended warranty out on the edge to cover the powertrain components. It's probably my second favorite color ever that ford had. Kodiak brown

 

Mine only cares that the life insurance premiums are paid.
Sold my last bike back in ~2005 or 2006. Too many stupid drivers staring at their cell phones. The country around me is becoming way too crowded again.

 

So who gets the truck and who drove the civic (now edge)?

 

I drive the trucks and my better half drives the edge, only time ill probably drive the edge is when it needs servicing or if we go out of town and we decide to take that, it is nice having another car we can take on road trips if we want

 

Had the Escape be the star in today's episode. I really like that tester, BTW.

 

so...new guy boasted how good he was getting and he was getting faster with looking parts up. and then he quoted the wrong battery, . Lead Acid when it should have been AGM, job was sold and tech came back to get the battery, i knew right when he put it on the counter it was wrong. I looked right at him and said you guessed didn't you. And then proceeded to say, I will never get mad at you for asking questions if you don't know something, but what will annoy me is if you just blindly guess at something and you don't ask. So this customer got an AGM battery for just over employee price.

And then i reiterated that i do not care about how fast you are at looking parts up, what i do care about is how accurate you are, if you keep getting wrong parts the techs will completely bypass you and that's a great way to get techs really mad at you
