wilson 101

after a thanksgiving service on wednesday night...on the ride back to the dorms, joshua james and i got to discussing the topic of motor oil. as i drove wilson (my car) and he critiqued my dash board module, we came to the conclusion that my oil needed to be changed. something he mentioned he is highly qualified in doing. so despite hectic schedules, we spent approx. an hour of quality time with wilson. the oil never got changed b/c my tool box is american made, not metric. but i did learn how to use not only the jack but my american made tools, and just how, much of the machery under wilson's hood functions. it was fun questioning josh's handi-man knowledge and skills just to hear his infamous response to me, "just calm down!" while i still don't exactly know how to change wilson's oil and his oil is just as dark as it was before the automotive lessons, i can say that i walked away with a better appreciation for him.

Just Calm Down there Beans!!!
At least you know more about this vehicle you keep calling Wilson now, and you know how to change a flat... Congradulations, you are now in the top 95% of women on earth that know where the oil dipstick is AND how to change it. You deserve a medal... But Wilson is still unhappy, but he will survive for a couple more days/weeks/months.... (circle one). His bumpin custom sound system will keep him goin.... ahhhh .. now you have me referring to a hunk of metal (and oil) as a special individual. Give me a break.... For reals though, let me know if anything else breaks on IT. Peace out..
