did you know...

that when your gas guage says E it actually means EMPTY... not ENOUGH.

yea, moving stuff today from rocky mount to cary... got the back of the truck loaded with a loveseat, bar, 4 chairs, 2 bookshelves, and some other little things (gotta love that long bed) and stopped once because the spare tire carrier that i have decided to take off but haven't yet had fallen and was dragging. well i get back in and decide when i get to around gorman street i'll go ahead and refill. Yea, 1/2 mile from gorman street is where i sat today till my mom got there to take me to get 2 gal of gas since the truck ran out. i thought i had put about 10 bucks worth of gas in the second tank but sure enough it was bone dry.

sorry i didn't get to meet up with everyone at the gtg today - and cliff i do still want that box, i'm gonna have to wait till i get all my junk moved to cary though and get paid again. (the 30th)
