With more time to kill, enter my PhotoShop drawing room....
I got ready to ease on over to the OC this morning to sign in for my quarterly PM. As I stepped out the truck I found a large puddle of oil running out from under my truck and down the lot. That's a bit disconcerting. But my dipstick showed full.
I mentioned it to the mechanics. They said, "Well, it's a weird thing, but a teaspoon of oil can make a large puddle. We'll check it out."
So now I sit here chillin the day away. Fortunately I scored a free meal because it's "Employee Appreciation Week." My wife has been bugging me about requesting a loaner so I can come on home. Part of me wants to. But an overwhelming part of me screams, "DON'T DO IT MAN! YOU KNOW IT WILL MEAN HAVING TO COME BACK AND SPENDING ANOTHER WHOLE DAY HERE TRYING TO GET BACK INTO YOUR TRUCK!"

WTF? You got my bed!
