So I'm having a dickens of a time with my clutch on my Wrangler. I'm losing clutch fluid and I can't get the damn thing into gear. So, I decided to go ahead and drop her off at my local mechanic. In order to beat the rush, I dropped her off when they opened at 7:30. That of course meant I did not have a fully conscious wife available to come pick me up.
So, I decided I'd be smart. I'd take my P.O.S. laptop with me and read my e-book copy of Slackernomics from Dale Franks (of Q and O blog fame) so I could better learn how the economy works. It's was a brilliant plan!
'Cept I forgot to bring the file with me...
In order to preserve all my highlighting and comments, I decided to keep the PDF file on my network so that I could read if from any of my computers without making copies left and right. When I got to the auto mechanic, I realized the icon on my desktop was a shortcut, not the actual file itself. And my wireless card ain't that good.
So, instead I'm blogging. Not that I can upload this to the server or anything, but at least when the Mrs. wakes up, gets the 2 year old dressed, and drags my happy ass back hope, I'll have a great story to tell.
Until then, I will sit here and play solitaire until the battery dies then proceed to read all the posters about fuel injectors and oil stabilizers.
