We just finished watching Tiff, Kris and Kelly save a "hillbilly girl" from the evils of "porno." The reputation of the porn industry has come a long way since the days of Charlie's Angels. The girls were so disgusted by it. It was seedy and murderous. The episode even showed part of the feature "porno" film. Funny, there was no sex happening, yet the Angel's looked like they wanted to vomit.
But this isn't an entry about porn; it's about buying a battery for the rig. (By the way, we recently watched an Angels episode where Tiff and Kris became truck drivers. Kris' CB handle was Angel Eyes and she got advice from Mother Trucker.) But what I got today was Richie working side by side with me, tools in hand, out in the cold. It was the first time I've ever worked on the Jeep with a helper. And not just any helper. He was resourceful and curious. I couldn't have asked for anything more. And this wasn't just changing out the battery. It was an upgrade to a heavy duty one with different proportions and the job required some rewiring. All done at night in 25 degree weather in the parking lot of an Auto Zone in NJ.
I never thought the second trio were as good as the originals.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see if Richie is so keen to learn to change engine fluids. but I can tell you that if you were my teacher, I definitely do more than just wheel my car into the service department.
and the thought of you both in cut-offs, legs sticking out from under the jeep, hot and greasy... well, let's just say if there's room for three under the jeep, I'll be there to hold the wrench!
Oh yeah, I'm absolutely thrilled at the prospect of changing the transmission fluids. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Angels in hot pants.They don't make them like they used to.I can tell Richie is enthusiastic about learning something new.That is how I was when I learned how to drive and we all know how that turned out :)
