Good morning Dale 
Today is the day of my challenge. Can’t remember if I told y’all. Long story short. Dh is notorious for having low gas. To the point where the car annoyingly reminds him. We tease him all the time. Couple weeks ago he and I left to get groceries and it started dinging. He’s pulls into Horton’s to get his coffee, I said you’re getting coffee before gas?!?!?!?!? If we run out in the drive thru (always a long line) I’m gonna beat you to death (kidding of course) He said you can just run across the street with the gas can. I said no, actually I will get out of this car and walk home. He said you can’t possibly do that, that’s too far. We jokingly bickered about my abilities and I said challenge accepted. So today is the day!
It’s a 3.1 mile hike according to google and should take me about 1 1/2 hours to get home. This will be the longest walk I’ve done since I was a teen but I am determined to prove him wrong
Oh and we made it to the gas station that morning thank goodness for his sake
Hope you all have a blessed day and if you don’t hear back from me all day…..I’m still walking

I made it!!! It took me 1 hour and 1 min 
I feel pretty good and I'm so proud of myself. I was getting nervous as we were driving over. He's such a sweetheart, he drove past me twice at different times and then when I was in the homestretch, he met me, and we finished the walk together. Now I'm fed, showered and ready for a nap
Good morning Dale, Sara and lurkers
1. Fuel pumps are inside the fuel tanks they need to be kept cool by being submerged in gas. Replacing fuel pumps has gotten to be very expensive now, around $500.
2. Running you car/truck to low on gas constantly will pump the sediment that settled to the bottom of the tank into the fuel injectors. Another very costly repair that could be a couple of thousand.
3. Never buy gas when the station is getting a load of gas pump into the ground,all the dirt at the bottom of those tanks will get flushed off the bottom and into your gas tank.
Running below a 1/4 tank is not good, a few things come to mind that are costly. Just myGood morning Dale

Wow good going Sara!

We’re washing bedding and curtains … yeah it’s taking both of us

I have to agree with you 100% on all of that and I used to work at a gas station, was my first job in fact.
I will tell him. Thank you both Me on the other hand, rarely let it get below 1/2 tank. We definitely do not get it when they are filling tanks.

That’s me, if it drops below half I get itchyI will tell him. Thank you both
Got hungry so we had an early supper, I had a pork chop and salad, DH had salmon and beets.

Second morning in a row I’ve woke up at 4 a.m. tired.
Good morning SaraHahaha. I thought you deserved a day off, Dale. Hopefully it turned out ok.
‘It’s lovely, thank you, I just haven’t felt like it lately.
Whelp. We’ve been busy this morning. Seems like all the rain has brought the furry friends in and they’ve feasted quite nicely in our pantry 
But I’ll take the good with the bad, we’ve set up one of those storage shelves and have reorganized, put their favorites in totes. Extra room in the pantry now I know they can chew through plastic but hopefully this discourages them or at least makes it harder for them to party on our dime

We’ve had sunshine for the first time in over a week.
Definitely annoying, Dale.
Glad the sun came out for you. Hopefully the heat didn’t follow. It’s trying so hard to peek through the clouds here. Lol
We ordered a pizza. I had put a roast in the crockpot but didn’t feel like making sides. Even instant/quick ones. So we decided we’ll do that tomorrow for dinner.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the evening. Time to put my feet up.
Hiya, Rat2, when you get here. Hope all is well with you. We’ve missed ya!

I have missed you all!
Ditto.I’ve had enough cooking for a lifetime
Thank you for thinking of me. I will explain my absence.Did Rat2 take a trip or something and I just forgot?
Yes, you should be proud. That sounds like a fantastic time. What did the hubby say?
Dale, I am so sorry for your loss even though I know it is a blessing his suffering is over. This makes it so difficult for me to explain where I have been the past week and I am sorry to have to tell y'all. I am not even sure that I should now.
Oh well, you are in my thoughts Dale.
