Bad day today. Not much done. Oh, well, I'm still way ahead of the game
My ATV broke down a bit, the injectors need adjusting. And that sucks.
now for the RANT!!!
Look dummy, if the black top only extends ten feet from the roadway, don't go down that road. It's been raining!! You know, that water that falls from the sky? Especially if you drive a two-wheel drive luxury sedan. Where's your brain?
So, here comes this dripping wet, muddy man, walking into the shop looking for a tow. Himself is busy putting the water pump back on his bulldozer so he just points to the tractor and says, "Go drag his stupid damn ass out of what ever swamp he fell into." I head for the Voltra but dumb ass said, "I don't want a woman messing with my car." I just shrugged and sat back down. I told him, "Ok, then stay stuck. We're busy."
He finally says he really needs pulled out so would I do it. So, I fire up the tractor and head out to pull this idiot out of a ditch. Only he's not in a ditch. He'd driven down a dirt road and right into a veritable sink hole. Roads around here come in, Interstate, state, county, dirt and cow path. This was a cow path. He'd seen the black top that the county lays down on their right of way and assumed that it was safe. He just drove right into a soft spot and sank up to the axle.
So I flopped down on my back, in the mud, hooked him up and towed him out. Now, I'm wet, muddy, cold and pissed. does he thank me? Offer to pay? No, he says, "I'll send you some money as soon as your husband sends me a bill." Then drives off. ???? Rude? yes Stupid? You betcha.
Found out that he's our new neighbor through the back way. Wonderful.
