You all remember Jorge right?

| That's him there, when we first met. |
Jorge is my truck. He's been somewhat neglected this summer since I didn't have any place to bring any horses. I did hop in him now and then to spin his tires and take him for a ride. And a few weeks ago he brought the horses over to the boarding barn. (His first time hauling!) We've been caught in a bit of a winter weather pattern here since Sunday, so I opted to take him to the barn that morning and planned to drive him for the next few days. But alas. It seems Jorge here is about as reliable as my equine. When I got in to drive home for lunch yesterday I noticed a LOT of oil on the ground. I very much hoped it wasn't coming from my truck. I was parked in a pretty full lot, so it could be from anywhere really... I hoped. Well. I get just about home and the oil light comes on. Poop. Fortunately, I have oil, so I add a quart, and call the dealership. Jorge is still very much under warranty being under 2 years old and only having 9000 miles on him. The dealership is pretty close to work, so I went straight there from my house at lunch time. By the time I got there, my new quart of oil was pretty much gone. Sorry environment. I haven't heard yet from them... Hopefully they can patch him up quickly. They didn't have a loaner for me (annoying) so I've been mooching rides off one of my coworkers who lives near me. It finally stopped snowing a few hours ago, and the roads are dry now, so I can use my car again at least. But sheesh. Come on truck! This is already his second time with a major problem, and he's not yet 2!
But none of that is my confession today. My confession today is that sometimes I get annoyed with myself for being too logical. I wanted to be REALLY whiny about him breaking down at the WORST times always. But logical old me was all, "well, you mostly only drive him when you NEED to, so of course it's going to be at a bad time". Logical me is annoying. I just wanted to pout!
