Jan. 13th, 2011 11:58 amLisa's father would like me to take him into Salem this afternoon for an errand, and I knew my van needed refueling, so Lisa went to refuel it on the farm tank.*
( The Van Wouldn't Start )
Fortunately, everything worked out okay in the end, and in a few minutes, assuming I can clear my deck of any pending jobs, I'll be running into Salem with Lisa's father. Lisa is going to take a nap because she didn't sleep well at all last night and she's going to take advantage of me being available for errands.
*As some of you may know, Oregon generally prohibits self-service gas fueling; however, Lisa's father has a large fuel tank on the property and buys gas in bulk from the local farm-supply company. We refuel the vehicles from that tank, which avoids the self-service restriction. Don't bother fretting about gas-tax evasion; he's buying fully-taxed fuel, even though some of it goes to fuel tax-exempt vehicles like the large John Deere mower.
