Maybe i'll have to do the lucas to get through the winter, though. I heard it's supposed to be ice again later today.

What a crap shoot of a winter, rain, snow, ice, obsene cold........... Usually i can still get out and do stuff, but this year it's terrible! I will have to get into gear soon and run to the parts store to get the gapper tool, i had two and mysteriously my toolbox was raided

So more coffe and a hurry-up run up town, hopefully it won't turn into a downpour like yesterday!
Stupid neighbor, likely. He stole/borrowed a bike of ours right into his apartment until he heard we reported it missing, and he was waffling about in the hall after i was out cursing loudly in the rain while DH and I tore the whole back of the truck apart looking for either one of the gapper tools i just saw a week ago! I know the whole place was probably peeking out the window, i was loud and mad because of COURSE i didn't know it was gone until i had walked in the rain at nightfall to hurry and get one in, and of COURSE the part's store had just closed; had to throw it in without gapping and still got soaked! Very P.O'd! I had put them at the top of my box so i wouldn't have to look; i knew something was up because my toolbox was all open and i never leave my tools laying around!
Most of them are now in my car, and i'll get my gas can and jack today before those get lost too.... My sockets and wrenches are mostly a loss because DH got mad at me and left them outside this summer, kinda ticked about that too. Just not a happy girl, lol. Not very feminine to get attached to tools, but i've been collecting them for at least 10 years now! So what they were cheapies, they were mine and many useful hours were spent with my big truck and those tools. I miss my truck, may have to keep my eyes peeled. Then i'd have a backup too. Danged if i do, danged if i don't; i will have maybe 500 cash to work with all in all so i guess it will be whichever comes first; the car or a good deal! I still say i need a roomie, then there will be two of us to help each other out. Has to be another girl in my shoes??? Just hard to find ones that are serious about money and goals, and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty (tomboy)
