Today Was Deal With Stupid Day

Lots of STUPID.

Weapons Grade Stupid even.

It was nice here today so I went out and started in raking leaves and cleaning up the back yard, it’s a disaster.

Raking and hauling it in the wheelbarrow and making a pile so I can haul it off.

I got maybe and hour, hour and a half into it.

Pretty soon The Wifely Unit tells me that I need to go look at The Kid’s car.

Now fucking what?

Oh yeah, he strikes again.

Long time readers may recall a couple of years ago when he hit something in The Wifely Unit’s rig late at night, blew BOTH passenger side tires and bent both of the rims about a mile from the house.

And then proceeded to drive it home like that.

It was a major fucking fiasco, took me two days to find another spare tire to fit the fucker and wound up having to order two steel wheels from a wrecking yard at $75 apiece because nobody had any locally.

Then two new tires and an alignment, that whole deal wound up costing me $500.

Pissed off?

I’m STILL pissed off about that, every time I remember it.

She tells me that he hit something again last night in his own car.

So I go take a look and what do I find?

Again.

Here we fucking go.

After I listened to the bullshit, I whipped out my phone, looked up the nearest U Pull It wrecking yard and texted him the number.

What’s this I get back. The wrecking yard. Call them, tell them what make, model and tire size and see if they have one.

The Wifely Unit tries jumping my shit for not doing it for him and I lit right into her ass.

He needs to grow the fuck up and he needs to deal with this shit on his own, he will be 24 years old in two weeks.

But no.

He calls, they tell him Honda wheels will fit and they have some.

So guess who got to drag his ass down to the U Pull It yard and give him a lesson on how this shit works?

An hour and a half, no tires the same size and he has no spare, no jack and no lug wrench either.

We wound up finding two wheels and tires that were one size taller, 185 instead of 175 and I found a spare.

Thank God they had a sale going and we rolled out of there for $75.

I paid, of course.

Got home, I drug out the jack and the tools and showed him how they work, again.

He pulls the destroyed rim off, puts one of the junkyard wheels on and it fits.

Gotta change both because Front Wheel Drive.

The other one doesn’t fit even though they look exactly the same just looking at them. So The Boy gets to do a Tire and Wheel Rodeo.

Winds up swapping and moving all 4 wheels to get matching sets in the front and one odd ball in the back.

Turns out the other front wheel was bent also and had been for a year.

I watched him and gave him pointers but I made him do all the work.

One dose of Stupid down.

While all this was going on, UPS showed up and dropped two identical boxes off on the front porch.

I stuck them in the garage until the Tire Rodeo was over,

After the tools got put away I went and looked at the boxes.

Harbor Freight.

Did I finally get the 30 piece Mini Lathe tool set I ordered clear back in fucking October?

The one it took 3 1/2 months and FOUR FUCKING PHONE CALLS to get shipped out?

So I open both boxes and instantly got a Double Face Palm moment.

The short answer is yes, I finally got the 30 piece Mini Lathe Tool kit I ordered clear back in fucking October.

The long answer is,

I also got THREE MORE!

STUPID COCKSUCKERS!

ARE YA FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

Bigger than fucking shit.

The dumb bastards sent me FOUR of them!

One for each phone call I guess.

I’m sorry, I can only deal with so much stupid at one time.

I am going to have to deal with this later…..

It’s 4:00 on a Saturday afternoon.

I have leaves to rake.

Dat’s Rayciss!!

File this under You Gotta Be Kidding Me…

Many Republicans disapprove of NFL’s efforts to improve treatment of Black players, poll finds
A large number of Republicans say they have soured on the NFL and are expressing disapproval of its efforts to improve the treatment of Black players, a new Los Angeles Times/SurveyMonkey poll shows.

Among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, 45% said they thought the NFL was doing “too much to show respect for its Black players.” Only 5% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents took that view.

Gotta love the name of that poll too.

I want to know who was stupid enough to even participate in such a loaded bullshit thing.
