First, I do not know how, or even why, it works. Flick a switch, light comes on. Flick other way, light goes off. Amazing. Plug extension cord in, truck block heater works overnight to warm diesel engine so it starts in minus 20 degree weather.
Enter (nameless) son. Half-hearted attempt to plug in cord. No work. No heat. Says, "Yes, Dad, truck plugged in." Dad get up morning. Jay get up morning, try to start truck. Whirl, whirl, whirl goes engine. No like cold weather. No start 'cause no heat. Smart Jay, check cord. Plug cord in ALL way. Hmmmm. Need 1 hour to warm at least. So - back bed 1 hour. Get up. Start truck. Cough, cough, cough goes truck. Run rough, but run. Big white clouds of exhaust. Run, Jay! Run! See Jay run house! In make coffee. Dad & Mom up too, drink coffee and tea. Say mean things about (nameless) son. Frown and laugh. Phone Aunt Sandra. Her birthday today. Sing song on phone. Make laugh. Talk Uncle Bernie. Him think buy 1999 Cadillac. Almost same same car we have. Go on truck. Have long day. Brain is done. No can think how speak or write English anymore. Can you tell?
Yup. >:}
ReplyDeleteHave you encouraged (nameless) son to use his big, strong muscles to push the itty bitty plug all the way in? ;)
I didn't notice anything wrong with the writing.
ReplyDeleteThough it sounded more like your early morning writing.
Or before coffee writing. :D
Ahem, defending the (nameless) Son, that plug was full of ice, he spent 5 minuets in -20 with only a robe on banging the ice out, only when he was sure it went in did he come inside.
ReplyDeleteIt did feel like it was in, there was even a click sound...
No coffee - he can't have coffee. Only tea. Without milk.

5 minuets are a lot longer than you think, you know. I mean, depending on how fast you play them, they can be five MINUTES each.

In -20, 2min feels like 10min. That means he spent 1.5 min total. Check that math. And who's fault was it that he was only in his robe? Put on some darn clothes, For The Love Of God!!! Get dressed people!!!
ReplyDeleteTake in house the plug end. Ice not like warmer than -20. than in five min in house ice be gone and truck start no big white cloud from truck and no big dark cloud over Jay's head.
