excitement
We left at 11am to ride at Chicopee today. Around 11:45 Eddie is squirming in his seat because the needle on the gas gauge has been under "E" for a few miles...but he's holding out for cheap gas. He was going to hold out for the I-985 exit but as we were approaching Hwy 317 I politely suggested he exit NOW and go to the Race-Trac for cheap gas. So, being the good husband he is, he cuts across three lanes of traffic to make the exit. Then he goes on to bi+ch about how the Race-Trac is 0.5 miles out of the way...we're wasting time...it would have been "much more exciting" to see if we could make it all the way to I-985....blah blah.
We were both happy to see gas at $1.57 at the Race-Trac when we got there! This was exciting enough and I was releived that we had made it there without running out of gas. Then Eddie mumbles something about forgetting his wallet. UM...WHAT? I didn't bring mine either!!! Panic. Or....maybe a little "too much excitement". I'm scrounging the car for change...none. I know my credit card # by heart but we don't think the gas station will go for that. I pulled out the checks I was going to deposit in hopes that we could somehow get cash from those...we just needed to find a SunTrust.
Eddie pulls out his trusty iphone again and luckily there was a SunTrust 1/4 mile away!!! We drove there, I went in to make the deposits and get cash back..then she asked me for my I.D. in order to get the cash.
So, I proceeded to tell her about my funny story..not funny as in "haha" but funny as in....no really, I am SCREWED without this cash. She asked me a million and one questions, had me sign my signature, and finally she let me have my $20. Phew.
So, Code Red and Hodge....be happy you didn't get the call from us this morning, because that is what I was about to do! :)
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful in comparison to that Race-Trac thing so that's about it for today!

I LOVE the gas gauge game! What mileage is it when the light comes on + how many gallons are left when the light comes on + what's the average mileage for the type of driving you are doing + 5 miles = How far I'm going to try to go. And then when you do that fill up is it the most that you put in the tank ever? Good times.
Dude, never a dull moment with you guys, huh?
Thanks for making my day. You guys are too funny!
This is not "normal" for everyone else?
