Oh, how short-lived was my happiness at T-Hoe's oil change! I should have known better. Farmer H is a crafty one. Pretending that I don't know nothin' and can't understand his words. He knew exactly what he was doing. I guess he didn't count on my interrogation skills.
After changing into my comfy clothes after the town trip, I walked past Farmer H in his recliner.
"So you got my oil changed at the Devil's Playground, just like A-Cad? They didn't reset the CHANGE OIL thingy. So we'll have to do that."
"No. I put two quarts of oil in. It only needed 1.5."
"Then why did I have two identical receipts? The exact same amount, on two consecutive days, both including an oil filter?"
"I got the oil changed in my truck. I just added oil to yours. I already had the oil."
"I've been asking you to change my oil for over a month! And then you did A-Cad on Tuesday, and SilverRedO on Wednesday!!!"
"Well, the CHANGE OIL message came up when I started to town in the Acadia. So I had to get it done."
"Mine has been on for over a month! You knew that! And then you took your truck the very next day???"
"It said it needed oil."
"For over a month???"
"Probably."
"Huh. Why don't you just take your Olds Toronado that hasn't been driven in 15 years? And maybe the engine out of that Chevy truck that you've been going to rebuild for 25 years. Because, you know, my car can surely wait as long as you want for an oil change."
"I'll have to see when I have time. Maybe next week."
This is just not right! Should I stop buying groceries and feeding Farmer H for over a month? It's not like I feed everyone else but him. Surely he can find room in his busy schedule to take care of projects at home. LIKE MAKING SURE MY CAR DOESN'T BREAK DOWN!
