We’ve had a “cold spell” here in Houston which means that temperature has fallen below 70 degrees.
It also means that last night Baby (left) and Monty (right) stopped fighting, put aside their territoriality, and decided to snuggle up together on the TV room chair.
I look at is as hope for the future… or something.
Last week our washer died, and so this past weekend Mrs. get donkey! and I put on our Sunday Best and went to Sears. I purchased the Kenmore Pinko-Commie-Tree-Hugger front loader model that is energy star compliant and uses less water. I think it costs seventeen bucks a year to operate. What it didn’t say on the box, however, was that the washer was a Monty Entertainment Unit.
This morning, as Mrs. get donkey! was leaving for the day, I noticed that I had a flat tire. I have changed a lot of flats in my day, but never on this vehicle. I went about assembling all the tools and the jack and all. When I tried to loosen the lug nuts, however, I soon noticed that the lug wrench was too shallow for the rounded lug nuts on the wheel. I huffed and puffed for a good hour, but finally, I had to give up. I ended up calling roadside assistance. They promised that someone would arrive in a bout 30-40 minutes. That was about an hour ago. I am now told it will be another 30 minutes or so. At least this all happened in my driveway, and I am stranded at home and not on the side of I-45 or something. It is kind of embarrassing to have roadside assistance come to your house, however.
This is a blog that is trying to come back to life!
