Currently I am in Wyoming for Thanksgiving, I got here yesterday. Today a guy who goes to my mom's church came to check her car radiator, because it's supposed to get into below-zero temps at night and he didn't want her car to get destroyed! He asked if I could help him, of course I said yes. The coolant that was in her car wasn't the right temperature rating for Wyoming (because how many people in the world have to have engine coolant that is rated into the negative 30/40 degrees?!?!), so we flushed and filled her radiator. After it had flushed, we realized we didn't have a funnel to pour the new fluid through.
So because I am super creative, I got my tall-sized Starbucks cup from this morning's pumpkin spice americano, cut a hole in the bottom, and we used that as a funnel. And because we had to do 50/50 coolant/water, we used my mom's used iced passion tea lemonade cup to measure the coolant and water. As we were doing this all I could think to myself is, "wow, I wish i had a video camera to record this and send it to Starbucks." I guarantee that has to be one of the top 10 creative uses for a Starbucks cup ever!! Maybe I could have gotten a free cup of coffee or something?! And to top it off, after we were done Jay said, "well you are pretty good, for a girl."
Haaaha, totally made my day. I have to thank Tim Verellen, who helped me fix my car many-a-time when I was in high school, and who taught me how to flush a radiator!
What a day. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
