So I go to change the oil on my car, drain, change filter, fill up and I go to start the car to get a better reading on the oil level..."POP!" *oil pressure light*
I immediately turn the car off. I look underneath to find the filter has popped off. I'm cursing FRAM for a defective product, angry that $40 worth of full synthetic oil is on the ground.... I look and I've got the wrong filter...the filter is for my truck...I look and the oil is the wrong viscosity as well.... My brain is fighting against me.
Back to town I go...12 miles there, 12 miles back. Put the correct filter on, check the oil...it all looks gone. Fill up with proper oil...now I have too much oil. $#@*#$&!!! Which also means I've now got 2 different viscosities in there. Why didn't I drop the drain plug again just to make sure all the oil was out? I don't have enough oil now to drain and refill and I'll be damned if I go back to town again... So now I go back under...drain a little...check...drain...check.
A 15 minute $45 ordeal turns into a 2 hour $80 ordeal....with me covered in oil... And I'm going to have to drain and refill the oil again because my OCD self will not let it alone because I must have the proper oil in the car... I'm certain the 2 oil types are in there waging thermonuclear war against my engine...
You ever have one of those days?

the last thing an oil covered, out of pocket, pi**ed off guy needs is a weird ass groghead masturbating in a bush at the end of his garden

Now that's quote-worthy.

You think things are bad now? Wait until they're born. You'll be lucky if you don't pour
flour into your engine in 5000 miles...
My little girl is great, she stayed under there with me collecting bugs from the radiator for her 'collection'. :)
I think the idea of having a son is starting to weigh heavy on me. I feel like I have a larger task ahead of me than with my daughter. The world is lacking in honorable men. I want him to be honorable, and at the same time I want to be the dad to him that I always wanted. (ya ya I'm getting sappy)
With my daughter my wife teachers her to be a good woman and I love and protect...and through my example show her the kind of man she should seek. With my son...it does seem...more involved.... I know its silly.

If only there were more fathers in our country with the mind set like that, I believe we would all be alot better. Hats off to you republic!

Heh. I forgot this isn't your first.
Nah, it's not silly. Having a kid is stressful. A good stress, but there nonetheless.
There's good stress?
