Yesterdays Pissy Adventure
Well ..... the MG runs ..... and is ready for the trip to the coast this weekend for Jen and Justin's wedding. We drove it to Medford yesterday and she ran like a charm.
The reason I got so pissy yesterday was I haven't driven this car now in two years. And Dave is extremely extremely picky about how to drive this car. He is a certified BMC (British Motor Car) mechanic ..... factory trained and to say he is fanatical about care and maintenance of this car probably doesn't even begin to express it.
So ..... we get back to Yreka from Medford and he pulls over.
Dave: "You drive."
Me: "No, thats ok"
Dave: "Why?"
Me: "Just been awhile and I'm a bit nervous"
Dave: "Well, you need to get used to it again sometime."
Me: "Alright, I'll drive."
We changes seats and off we go. Up and over Forest Mountain ..... the pass between Yreka and the valley we live in. All is going ok ..... then:
Dave: "Slow the fuck down, your driving to fast in the corners and the shock absorbers need air."
Me: "Sorry."
Me: "Better now?"
Dave: "Yes ..... sorry if I yelled at you."
Me: "Well, you did."
The irritation is now setting in and also the paranoia of doing something else wrong that will get me in trouble.
Dave: "What, you can't drive 30 mph through town?" "Slow the fuck down."
Me: "Damn I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was going 35 mph." "It feels like we are going slower .... I need to get used to the car again Dave."
Dave: "Pay attention."
Now I am even more irritated and more paranoid ...... the need for a cold beer is setting in and I plan to stop at the market and get a 12 pack. I come into the straight stretch to the store, slow down and approach a bridge that has had some work done recently and has quite a rough dip / bump. I start pressing on the brake and its not really slowing like I think it should .... I am pressing harder:
Dave: "What the fuck ...... SLOW DOWN ..... WE HAVE NO CLEARANCE IN THIS CAR!" "DO YOU KNOW WHAT A FUCKING BRAKE IS?"
Me: "Shit ..... I'm not used the fucking brakes ..... sorry, I'm trying."
Dave: "You will ruin the car before we go anywhere."
Me: "Fuck, sorry!"
I start to gear down and make the turn to the store:
Dave: "Stop riding the fucking clutch." "Why do you think we had to replace it in the first place!"
Pull in to a parking spot.
Me: "OK, thats it ..... you drive home."
Dave: "Why?"
Me: "I'm obviously am not capable of driving the car."
Dave: "Yeah, start acting like a spoiled brat."
Me: "Whatever ..... I'll walk before I drive that fucking car."
Dave: "Fine ..... it can stay parked."
Me: "Like I said .... WHATEVER!"
He drove home ..... and we are still not talking to much to each other and he is so pissed at me its not even funny.
It just that I try, damn it. I love my car. But when I am constantly nagged at it takes the fun right out of the car. Its parked in the driveway .... I want to take it for a cruise today ..... but I won't. If something goes wrong with the car I'll carry it and get told about it till the end of fucking time.
So much having my car back. I don't even want to drive the fucking thing.
He has gone to do some job somewhere ..... and I'm going to now get my ass is the shower and attempt to get happy about leaving tomorrow. He puts the downer on the whole trip. Hopefully by the time he gets home he will be in a better mood, or at least a better attitutde towards me.
Alright, that is my story .... the reason for my drunk post last night. I'm off to the shower, but first I am going to stare once more at the pretty little car in the driveway and wish I was in it .... alone .... enjoying a peaceful ride.
Peace. J.

Don't Want To Bitch ..... And Some Other Stuff Too
Does anyone actually have a clue as to why Mindsay is doing what it is doing? I've tried hard not to bitch ..... but I'm due ..... WTF?
Tired again today .... not busy at all, just a few left over stragglers and another 15.00 added to the till. Clothes left over will go to the local Hospice shop. Most everything else was either true garbage so that is where it went or Dave's tools that went back into the shop.
Almost everything is put up ..... but sheer laziness has now hit and I'm done for the night. Tomorrow I'll carry the saw horses back to the barn ..... they won't be going anywhere till then I'm sure.
So with our riches I will head out tomorrow and buy chicken food, dog food, dog biscuits and a salt lick for the llamas. And put the rest in the gas tank.
Gas is now $4.67 a gallon ...... diesel is $5.15. Road trip anyone?
We had a ton of compliments on the yard which just made Dave beam, as well it should. It is a beautiful yard. And he has put so much work into it. And we had at least four offers to buy the little trailer ..... can't even tell you how often I heard the words "isn't that cute" ..... Again, Dave has put his touch into every aspect of fixing up this little tin can ..... and it is adorable. Its nice he truly takes so much pride in every project he takes on. He is out in the shop now putting the MG back together .... so maybe, just maybe ..... it will be on the road this week. YAY!
Yesterday I couldn't get out of my sweats it was so cold ..... today it was shorts and tank top ..... a beautiful day. Hopefully that old north wind went somewhere else to blow. I've had enough.
Still behind on my reading so my apologies ..... tomorrow will hopefully allow me a few minutes here and there to get caught up ..... I have to drive B. in the morning but that is just here local and won't take long ..... I hope.
Ok ..... I'm outta here. Time to jell ...... sleep shall come quickly.
Till then ...
Peace. J.
