Paid another "Stupid Tax" today

Just got through changing the oil in the ol' 911, rolled it into the garage and ran over the remote to the garage door opener, which had somehow fallen off the clip where I had it attached to the door pocket.

Good God.

I did find a 'gently used' one on the 'bay, for less than 20 bucks, wish me luck.

I thought it was going to be a speeding ticket.

(that's pretty funny)

This was a stupid post, andi knew it, but I had to vent my frustration, stupid little things made an oil change take an hour and a half, and then to wreck a remote from my brand new GD opener just touched a nerve.

Had me totally confused. I thought you were going to post something like the snack tax we have here in the "We Don't Even Kiss You First State" Were a bag of chips is taxed if you buy it at the local 7-11 store but same bag of said chips are not taxed at a grocery store.
