so last night I was driving home from my buddies house at my truck said -29. Guess what I needed. GAS! Guess what's hard to find open at 12:45 in the morning in the NW. A gas station thats open!
Station 1: Drive up, get out, open up the gas tank, get my wallet out (frozen), pry it open, struggle managing my fingers (gloveless) to get my credit card out. Get it out. Look up. "Pump Station Closed"
Well damn...
Station 2: Make sure pumps don't say Closed, Drive up. Get out, Open up gas tank, get wallet out, barely manage fingers to get credit card out, Full Serve spot so no pay at the pump. Get back in, do an awkward U-Turn get into self serve.
Station 2b: Get out, open gas tank, get out wallet, credit card (still no gloves) get hit by burst of wind that knocks card out of hand, pick it up out of snow (still no gloves) insert, authorize, grab pump, Get finger stuck on freezing metal, put it in, pull the trigger. No pressure, pump is off
F*** It!
Drove home praying I don't run out of gas the rest of the way.
All this after losing to my buddy in guitar hero for the first time....
