I slept in, made coffee, took a nap, made some calls, almost let Slayer talk me into driving up to MDS and pissing him off, then spent the rest of the day making deroggitive comments on this forum til my wife came home with the rear brakes grinding around 5thirty.
It was to late to get ahold of any real people so I called Autozone and asked how much for a set a pads for an 04 4 Runner. The kid said " 12 bucks" and after a few minutes of silence I asked if he had any real brake brake pads. He did, they were 50 bucks so I got those. The rotors measured right on the line so I slapped everything on, rotated the tires and made a mental note to call the place where she gets the oil changed and tell them to stop adding brake fluid to the ####ing car.
When i walked into the Autozone store the kid recognized me from yesterday when I had asked him why black wire was 2 dollars more than red. He said he had no idea and after a few moments of silence I asked him if there was anybody there that could answer that question. There wasn't so he told me its because black wire can also be used in houses and after a few more minutes of silence I told him to stop making stuff up. He said he didn't make the prices, I said," I never said you did, in fact I am sure you don't and please try to stay on the topic"
It was a legitimate question and i was curious for the answer , usually red stuff cost more than black so I really was in a quandry and still kinda am. What gives with that? Anybody know why black wire cost more than red? I might have known the answer but if i ever did I forgot it. I would have just gotten all red but I am way to anal for that bull####.
This is the time of year where we get a lot of salescalls; mortgage, phonebook, electricity. I have been handling these with full honesty ,integrity and authenticity. After they are finished with their introductory speil I say" Buddy, I didn't understand one ####ing word you just said." This makes for a short phone call, that's how i like it. One might get the idea I am a negative creep but if you change your perspective you will see this is not the case. I mean, Hell, at least now I am actually answering the phone. Right? Right.
I had to stop for while for a number of reasons. One being i owed my mechanic 2 bucks for an inspection sticker and he would call every other day and scream " TWO DOLLARS, I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!" I kinda get the idea he wished i never paid as he was having a lot of fun. I guess i was too but now we have a new game because yesterday i called him and asked if he wanted this ash log that had uprooted. You really have to watch what you say to people... especially that guy.
So he came down and we tossed the ash log in his pick-up, it was a small log, not a sphincter ripper of a log. Then we started talking about other logs, like highly valuable walnut logs. He mentioned something about them also being highly rare, it was then I pointed over yonder and asked " Like those dozen over there?"
