I knew what I was doing all along…
When I started driving the Nissan last Monday, I noticed that it needed brake fluid. I stopped by my mechanic the next day and he determined that the master cylinder was leaking. He called and ordered the part while I was there and told me to come by after work on Friday since the job would only take an hour.
On Saturday morning, I went to my first men’s meeting at our new church. Since the church is about a mile from the mechanic, I decided to slip on over to get some things out of the trunk of the Toyota.
As I lifted the trunk lid, I remembered that I had completely forgotten my Friday appointment!!! When Friday afternoon came around, I was so excited to see my wife at the apartment complex movie theater, I just headed straight home.
I called and left him a message.
He didn’t call me back. I called him today…
It turns out that he forgot about it too. He never picked the part up!
So, if I had remembered, he wouldn’t have been ready anyway. I am officially off the hook!
In fact, I actually did him a favor by forgetting!
