Grocery Shopping

Sometimes your wife may ask you to run to the grocery store and pick up a few items. It may seem like a hassle, but you know that it is worth it to show a little love and to keep the peace. One of the hardest things about where we live is supply trips. I have to drive 400kms on horrible dirt roads to get to the small town where supplies can be found. I load up my 4x4 with empty barrels to buy diesel and empty ice boxes for groceries. The road looks similar to this for the most part:


But along the way you may come across places like this:

...and sometimes your vehicle can even get stuck in those places. 
All around it was a 21hour round trip drive to the grocery store and fuel station. It may seem kind of crazy, but I get to check off grocery store run from my "honey do list" for at least 2 more months. I guess maybe when you total up your time spent driving to the fuel station and grocery store for two months you might reach around 21hours too. Then again, maybe not.
