2025 can seriously eat a pile of raccoon scrotums!!
I can somewhat feel for you. I was driving down a dark road last night when there was suddenly a tire lying in the middle of the road. I couldn't swerve fast enough and hit it. Got a flat tire. Between the cheap foldable jack and tire iron, the -3 Real Feel, the lug nuts that wouldn't budge and the tire that wouldn't budge, it took 45 minutes just to change a tire in my khakis.

This being said, your car got it a lot worse.

sicknesses getting crazy around here. My kid's school closed because too many students/staff are out sick, my wife is not feeling well so she is home from work. My son was supposed to have his 4 year old checkup this afternoon, but the doctor is out with the flu so we had to reschedule. Multiple coworkers out sick or working from home. I don't think I've seen it this bad before.

That sucks, man.

Yeah, I rely my car to do food deliveries to make extra money. I was planning to make a lot of money on Super Bowl Sunday but can't now. The worst part is that my son was driving and he just got his license on Tuesday. Now he is scared to drive again.

The guy that hit us was 70 years old and was probably around 5' tall but for some reason was driving a huge truck. Not even sure he was able to see over the dash.

2 days after getting his license. That's rough.

Had a flat on the work truck a couple a weeks ago. Luckily I got it into a shop, it took 45 minutes to change the darn thing. I think I beat on that tire for 5 minutes with one of those 10-15 pound 2 ft hammers before it broke loose from the hub, just glad I was inside it was about 0 that day. Also the lug nuts were rounded (used 3 socket sizes to get them off) so when I replaced the tires I replaced all the lug nuts to eliminate that problem. Oh well should be good for a while now.

Sometimes, the fairly simple task just becomes unnecessarily complicated.

I was really glad to be inside a heated shop. It was in a small town his helper had went home so I did the manual labor and he ran the air wrench and patched the tire. It was a pretty good tear type hole glad it was a local shop don't think a chain would have patched it. All the tires were wearing out, his patch lasted the wk until I got it into my local shop for 4 new ones.

How many movies has Liam Neeson made where he is a disillusioned ex (fill in the blank) that finds purpose by killing a bunch of people?

Just watched one that takes place in Ireland in the 70s during the troubles. He plays an ex hitman and an IRA bomber (Kerry Condon) hides out in his town.

Speaking of 1970s Ireland, Say Nothing on hulu is a good mini series.

Bought a washing machine today. Had a 15% of coupon at home depot, with delivery, new hoses, and sales tax, I saved $100 and still paid less than the price of the washer, so I got a pretty good deal. Been using my parent's washer for the last couple years.

Not exactly sure.
Saw a valentines gift idea on YouTube shorts. I posted and then deleted just incase it was borderline. It was a coffee cup that was kinda racy. I’m wondering who would actually buy this coffee cup.

My boss listed his spec house the other day. A guy called him, asked if the bathtub in the master was a jacuzzi tub. It's not, just a regular soaking tub. Then the guy asked if it can fit 2 people because him and his wife like to take baths together. The guy straight up said that.
