Last night we went to yet another Lowe’s (there are actually 3 different Lowe’s and 3 different Home Depots with 15 minutes of my house) and found the styles we wanted in the right size.

We brought the doors to the cashier and said we wanted to rent a truck to bring it home

vixmom · « **Reply #94 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:49:24 PM »

The cashier said THE truck was being used

vixmom · « **Reply #95 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:50:11 PM »

THE truck? You only have one?

John G. · « **Reply #96 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:50:26 PM »

Keep on truckin’, baby.

The Home Depot by my house has 8 or 10

So we asked when it was due back and were told 7:15

vixmom · « **Reply #99 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:51:45 PM »

Ok , we’ll wait

vixmom · « **Reply #100 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:52:27 PM »

Nope, we don’t rent the truck after 7:30 because the store closes at 9:30

vixmom · « **Reply #101 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:53:03 PM »

We’re 15 minutes down the road, we’ll be back before 8:30

vixmom · « **Reply #102 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:53:12 PM »

Nope, can’t do it

vixmom · « **Reply #103 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:53:30 PM »

Ok, can we reserve the truck for tomorrow?

vixmom · « **Reply #104 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:53:44 PM »

No, it’s first come first served

vixmom · « **Reply #105 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:54:29 PM »

Ok what time do you open?

vixmom · « **Reply #106 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:54:36 PM »

vixmom · « **Reply #107 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:56:00 PM »

The manager overheard at that point and she said that if we bought the doors she would keep them there overnight and take 10% off

vixmom · « **Reply #108 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:57:00 PM »

Which was nice because the combined price of the doors was over $500

vixmom · « **Reply #109 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:57:35 PM »

That is how I came to be driving a truck at 6:15 am this morning

vixmom · « **Reply #110 on:** August 19, 2020, 08:58:11 PM »

So there’s another truck story for you all

vixmom · « **Reply #111 on:** August 19, 2020, 09:01:09 PM »

After driving home, unloading the truck, storing the doors in the garage, stopping to throw a couple of $$ worth of gas in the tank on the way back, returning the truck, doing the paperwork and driving back home it was 8 am

vixmom · « **Reply #112 on:** August 19, 2020, 09:01:39 PM »

So I took a shower and made a smoothie

vixmom · « **Reply #113 on:** August 19, 2020, 09:01:57 PM »

Almond milk, banana and blueberries today

vixmom · « **Reply #114 on:** August 19, 2020, 09:02:29 PM »

Then one if my bosses called to check I still had a key to the office

vixmom · « **Reply #115 on:** August 19, 2020, 09:03:05 PM »

I replied affirmatively and he asked me to open the office today

vixmom · « **Reply #116 on:** August 19, 2020, 09:03:21 PM »

So I did.

vixmom · « **Reply #117 on:** August 19, 2020, 09:03:38 PM »

Wasn’t that exciting?

vixmom · « **Reply #118 on:** August 19, 2020, 09:04:08 PM »

Oh, TCB, to answer you question from last night, yes, my family ate blowfish

vixmom · « **Reply #119 on:** August 19, 2020, 09:04:33 PM »

My dad said they tasted like chicken
