Gassed the Mrs.-T-B.-mobile tonight, helpful we man.

By our cipherin', we calculate that there was less than one ounce of gas left, all-time record man.

 

Fortunately, we made it to the gas station where we get Many (2+2+1) cents off per gallon if we use the station's credit card, pleased we man.

LOL clearly a misspell BUT a toasty culo is welcome in the winter. I shall take a heated one! Does it come with any gadgets like the Japanese ones?

As my father would say... you got to the gas station with only the smell of gas left in the tank.

Speaking of cars and empty gas tanks reminded me that I forgot to tell ya'll about this. A couple of weeks ago we went to the peach orchard to buy fresh peaches and came home with this.

Frenchy is used to those sissy French cars that weigh 900 lbs, and have a sewing machine for an engine. And the horn goes "meep meep"...

Here in Brooklyn, when your friend gets a new car, you throw a 20 on the floor for good luck. 

But, you're not in Brooklyn. So, you're not gettin' a twendy....

I’m surprised at the custom plates I see in ND. Peaches might be a possibility.
