Since I can't crawl all over the cars and trucks in order to change the oil in my current condition, I had to sit in line and wait for the professionals. Well as professional as the Wal Mart folks can be anyway.....
We have learned that the Wal Mart closest to where we live does not have a good shop to change anything automotive. Not even a light bulb, with out waiting several hours for them to get their act together. So that means we have to use the newer store over in the Center of Olathe. Things seem to click much better over there.
So after driving to Sam's Club to purchase stomach medicine that they have on a card in much larger quantity than Wal Mart for about the same price, it was off in the other direction for Olathe. This killed the entire morning. Waiting in line, then waiting inside on the benches for the work to be done. Then it was about 45 minutes back here to the house.
By mid afternoon, I had summoned the courage to take the Pickup back over to that Wal Mart and start the process all over again. This time I was in a much larger line and really did have to wait a good amount of time just to make it to the door. I try to wait patiently, but I am male, and have to watch as the folks waste their time on everything other than helping the customers........
Tonight, I managed to go back down to the basement and install the remaining door pulls on the lower cabinets. This caused me to sit on the floor to remove the doors and then again to put them back on after the pulls were installed at my bench drill press. I get up and down so very slowly, that I just shut out the lights when the job was complete.
The worst of the whole deal is that Loyce's CRV needs its oil changed too...........steady, Rod, patients..........

I HAD THE TIME RIGHT BUT I HAD THE DAY WRONG

I guess there's no such thing as a "Jiffy Lube" in the area? I'm not even a big fan, but you don't need to get out of your vehicle for an oil change. And I'm pretty sure they couldn't be any dimmer than the chimps at Wal*mart.
ReplyDeleteTake it one day at a time I suppose.
If nothing else, you are a loyal WalMart customer - that takes a lot of patience!
