He’s off again… Lowes
9:00 PM.
Doug is at Lowe's.
Again.
No one is surprised.
The truck has become a full-blown engineering project. What started as "Let's add a rack" somehow evolved into redesigning the entire roof system.
When I suggested he simply buy a roof rack instead of fabricating one from scratch, I wasn't sure he'd survive the idea. Doug loves solving problems with aluminum, steel, and a workshop full of tools.
To his credit, he did buy the Thule rack.
Then... he proceeded to mutter a few choice words at it because he couldn't figure out the instructions.
The problem wasn't the rack.
It was the fact that he'd been engineering all day without eating.
So I handed him a sandwich.
Funny thing...
After a few bites, the mysterious Thule rack suddenly became much easier to assemble.
Apparently, the missing tool wasn't a socket wrench.
It was lunch.
Now he's back at Lowe's.
For "just a few more bolts."
Which, around here, could mean we'll see him in 20 minutes...
...or he'll come home with enough hardware to build another truck.
Love my husband!
