Random Tuesday Thoughts

• Seriously, people? If you decide you want to drive slow, that's OK with me. Just do it in the SLOW lane. That's why it was invented.
• Why does the GPS always take you on the weirdest, most non-direct route possible?
• When we bought our "new to us" truck, Ed decided to do the modifications that we had on our old '96: super hitch, camper tie downs, air bags, bug shield and mud flaps. As he was putting on the new super hitch, he realized that he couldn't get the spare tire down. We read in the manual on how to get the spare tire out, and it kept talking about this "key". Yes, internets, there is now a key for your spare tire. I say, if anyone wants that damn tire and can get underneath the truck and lift that sucker out of there, they deserve it. Seriously.
• Did you know that they made like 10-20 different spare tire keys for the 2008 F-350's? (We tried two of my brother's keys, one from his personal truck and one from his work truck and neither worked.)
• Did you also know that it will cost $108.00 to replace it?
• Did you also know that I totally threw a fit when the dealer said this, because, to me, that's part of the safety inspection, yo. Ya can't change a tire without the key. He told Ed to "look in all the cubby holes. It has to be there somewhere." When Ed called him back, he started some song and dance about it was at a consignment place before their's and he didn't know if he could get a key.
• There are a ton of Ford discussion websites that talk about this VERY problem. Apparently you can drill out the lock and then just use the jack to turn down the tire.
• In other news, we have a chickadee nest in our butterfly bush. At least one baby.
• I got absolutely nothing done today.
• And, I'm crabby.

Random enough for you?
