Minor Confession Thread

This may actually be a Tech Tip but the cap from the large jug of Tide is the same size as the scoop on a small rice maker.

I was playing the card game "War" with my seven year old son tonight, and I was cheating my ass off.

If you want a really fun card game to play with your kids, try Apples to Apples. My 12yo loves it and we play every time he can talk the family into it.

How bad were the bubbles?

I like the engine sound of my noisy Saturn SL2 more than almost any other car I've ever driven.

I like the Christmas in Hollis Nissan commercials better then the AC/DC Nissan commercials.

I nearly killed the FR-S. And its totally my fault.

I had a '97 SL2 - first car I bought brand-new - and I actually miss that car.

I was browsing the magazine aisle in the grocery store last night when two kids wandered up and started thumbing through the magazines.

I cropdusted the whole area and then left.

I am seriously considering the option of selling two really fun older cars and replacing them with one newer certified pre-owned car with a warranty.

If I'm in a fast street car, I'll drive like a dick, guaranteed. I need to be in a 100hp penalty box in order to drive like a decent human being.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm in the same boat. I'm at the age now that I only enjoy wrenching when I can set my tools down and walk away whenever I please. The "1.5 hours to do a head swap so I can make it to work"....way, way over that phase.

I could not give a E36 M3 about the new Star Wars movie. Not a single one, not even a fart......

I was a few minutes late to work today, even after leaving way early. I told the boss it was because there was a pickup stuck in the snow, blocking my cul de sac.

I didn't tell him it was mine.

I signed up for a mandatory training as far from my normal work areas as possible just so I don't have to see people I normally see in training and meetings.

I put away my tools and came in from the garage about two hours earlier than I needed to today. My wife was surprised and asked if I was done already.

I said, "It's just not fun anymore."

I was busy at work and couldn't do a water pump and a "remove the alternator" to change the t-stat on my wife's Trailblazer. I totally got jammed in price by my mechanic.

Part of me is happy I didn't have to change that stuff out.

In reply to Woody:

BTDT.

I've also turned on the shop lights. Looked around, turned them off and went inside to watch TV.

Am I the only one who thought Carson and Miss Hughes were already in a relationship?

I had to Google. Downton Abbey comes up as a possibility.

I just watched all 3 of the original Star Wars movies between Saturday and Sunday. First time I had seen 5 and 6 in their entirety. I'm trying hard to not become a fanboi, but I think that wifey and I will go and see it sometime this week.

I hired a guy to finish the duct work in my shop. I used to this sort of thing myself and I still could but I just don't have any interest in doing it anymore.

I also hired a plumbing contractor to install the waterlines to our horse paddocks but that was an easy decision since they need to be buried 4' down and his price was only $500 over the cost of getting an excavator in.
