I guess there is a negative to never watching news. I never saw one sign of it coming out in public. I know what date it's on but rarely care what day it is currently so just snuck up. Lol luckily there is a Walgreens close. Whew close one.
I don't have to be as smart as you hope to be some day anymore.

Set a reminder on your phone for about a week in advance. Also works for birthdays, anniversaries, and anything else that would put you on the couch if you forgot.

Ha, I must of been in a bad cell service area I guess! Thank you though. Luckily I snuck out really quick. She didn't even know I went anywhere. Stealth mission even in the diesel somehow. Pulled it off. She wouldn't be mad but deserves the world.

What do you mean? They forget shit all the time. They forget the check engine came on, they forget they used the credit card, they forget it's football season

The first one and last one they never forget.
Anytime a damn check engine light comes on or a sensor light that’s all I hear.
Wife: “Well are you gonna fix that”
Me:Well is the car running ok?
Wife: I think
Me: What do you mean you think, is it different ?
Wife:No but the car wouldn’t have the light if it wasn’t supposed to come on when something isn’t safe.
Me:“No they put those lights there so you drive into the dealership and pay a diagnostic fee and this fee and that fee and $480 later oh hey it’s a bad sensor.”
Please tell me there are others out there suffering from this same debacle.

If it's a GM vehicle, I tell her "The check engine light just means it's running. The low coolant light means it's up to temperature. The lightening bolt looking one is a little scary, make sure your phone is charged. Good luck."

Our struggle is when an oil change is due. Apparently, the the maintenance due message means nothing until she is a few hundreds past the mileage and her car starts to scream at her
Then she will ask me to change it when she notices I’m in the middle of something outside.
