    As the title says, I like looking at it as I walk away. Anyone else do this or is it just me? I like appreciating the work I’ve put into it and all the memories it’s given me and wil continue to give me in the future. It has become much more then just a tool for use everyday.


    And yes I know I parked crooked, there was a shopping cart right behind the truck and I didn’t care to move it or move to a different spot.

    95% of the time, I park my truck where I can I see it at work. Try different angles, cranking the wheels left or right and etc etc. Co-workers hate it lol!

    I’ve got a thing about parking in the same spot every time no matter how far it is. I can be very predictable with other decisions as well. Although I usually give my girl shit about parking crooked, I just didn’t care this time.

    Guilty of that to! Sometimes I walk across the shop just so I can have something nice to look at during my night.

    In addition to parking straight, shopping carts that are in close proximity to me get a free escort back into the store or to a cart corral at a minimum.

    I usually do that, but this particular stores shopping carts have a lock on their wheels. They lock up as soon as it gets far enough away from the store and it’s really awkward trying to wheel it back once it’s locked.

    Almost like you gotta push it while holding the back end off the ground so you’re not trying to push on a locked wheel.

    Lol that’s a little bad. I’ve got a good mixture of both. It’s a bonus when I can get my daughter AND truck in the same picture.

    You parked in the wrong spot. You always gotta pick the spot next to a curb or wall so only one other person can park next to you!

    Here in San Diego it is. I guess shopping carts have a way of not making it back to their stores. I think it’s because bums can take em otherwise to haul all their belongings around.
