Always Make Your Husband Proud

I needed an oil change and forgot to get it Friday, so I had it in my mind to get it done last night. Pat’s AC went last night and so we put his car in the shop instead (in hindsight an oil change is soo much more important then the AC). We rented a car for him after dropping his car off for the repairs to be done the next day. This morning my car was running a little off. This made me nervous so I pulled into a gas station and popped the hood. Now I have checked my oil before (not in this car) but I thought I knew what I was doing. I missed the obvious dip stick and went to the one hidden in the car (a little lower and more obscure); turns out I was checking the transmission fluid. My husband would be soo proud. Anyway the guy from the shop was standing next to me and pointed out my mistake (with out laughing). Then he checked my oil it was so low, I’m glad I stopped because replacing the engine is expensive! He added 3 Quarts of oil so I could make it to work. After all that I was only 15 min late.
