It's never the idiots fault, remember? I guess people don't realize that you can go to the next street, make a couple more turns and would be at the same place.

When people tell me I own a nice Evo.

Ugh... I do own a nice Evo...

Should have gotten the plate "15 EVO" instead of 15 FUN...

My wife yells at me every time I do just that, instead of making some drastic menouver at the last second...

Obviously, trolling in the passing lane. New Yorkers make it their job to clog the one lane. Their cousins from NJ are close behind. Switching to the HOV lane, traveling across an unused and therefor rock filled median, and spewing out windshield chipping debris is another favorite. How about randomly braking for no apparent reason, coming to a near stop, and then easing into the 100 yard left turn lane.......................and then indicating?

Wait until you're married...

I train at Gracie Barra and sometimes I'll get caught up sparring and an hour, hour and a half will blaze by, and then I pick up my phone after I shower and I've missed 12 calls.

If paranoia/anxiety is a deal-breaker for you then I'd say find someone who doesn't care so much.

Otherwise suck it up dude! Or be more accurate when telling her where you're going and for how long.

It's funny, in German there is an expression that translates to: anticipation is the best joy.

Go to mow the lawn so I dig out the lawnmower. Tank is empty so I start pouring in some fuel only to discover its coming out from underneath just as fast as I'm putting it in. I thought maybe the fuel line was cut or loose.

Nope. Between the engine and the fuel tank where nothing can get to it, is a crack in the plastic tank. wtf? No idea how that happened.

Any recommendations on plastic cement that will not be eroded away by fuel?

Look for marine epoxy. But any solution in this case will be a temporary one, as you should really swap out the tank.

its a very small crack about half an inch in length. problem is I do not believe Home Depot is going to have tanks for sale. Its a Troybilt mower I bought about 8 years ago. Its try and fix or buy a new mower and I'd rather not buy a new one right now.

There's a shop off of 76th I think it is (betwix the sewards) that I went to for a couple parts to repair my troybilt snow blower. Might be worth a try before buying a new mower. If I can remember or find the name I'll let ya know.
