Waitin’
You had to wake him up 3 times just to get in the truck to head to the water. You bought him Pepsi, but it turns out he prefers Coke. You swing through McDonald’s, and he orders a chicken biscuit, but it’ll be 10 minutes before they’re ready. You talk him into a Sausage McMuffin and head down the road. At this point, you realize you really should’ve filled up the the truck night before. 10 minutes at the gas station, call it 15 after you track down an attendant to unlock the bathroom door.
