911 frustration!

Ok,
I am driving home from work, the siren song of Skyline Blvd is loud and strong!
Hwy 92-DENIED!
Hwy 84-DENIED!
Sandhill Rd-DENIED!
Alpine Rd- DENIED!
Page Mill Rd-DENIED!
All because I was running on reserve gas, I shoulda filled up on the way to work, and because of my lack of fore sight I had to pay the piper of stupid and lazy his due. Lesson learned till 3 hours from now!
Hola
eric
P.S. I did get gas and HWY 9 paid the price!

Running on reserve is kind of like needing to go pee, It's only gonna get worse.

There is no reason to wait until your are on fumes to fill up.

You call that frustration? It's 20C below and my 911 is in hibernation until at least April...

But at least, it's a dry cold.

Cheers,
Rod.
