So ranting a bit here now...
I swear this man (hubby) is nuts. Today he insisted on needing spark plugs for the mower. He bought some part for it yesterday. Whey didn't he get spark plugs too? He made two trips into town yesterday, that should have been one trip and now another one today.
My question is what will he need tomorrow? 
I'm not complaining too much because I didn't have to do yard work today. I think he's awful sore to take two days off in a row!! Men!
Do you make unnecessary trips to the store or wherever?

@kareng Although, to be fair, if I am working on a project, I tend to be back and forth. My wife tells me the same thing, "Don't you plan?" Well, yeah, kinda sorta. But with the way projects go with me, there's always something that suddenly arises I didn't plan for. lol

No, I don't but I'm also not working on a lawnmower... Sometimes you don't know you need something until you need it.

@kareng But did he think to check them before he went to town the first time? And did you think to remind him how old they were before he went to town the first time? Just as much your fault as his.

@DaddyEvil Nope, not my job. Yard equipment and cars is his territory in maintenance. From what I overheard of his conversation with his brother on the phone, there is one other thing he will change. Eyeroll. So he knows!!

@JudyEv Well it is good to see that someone else is wired this way! It isn't like they forget, because mine will discuss what he is doing the next day. And bingo, he needs something else! Why not get it at once? I'll never understand, but it is what it is!!

If it was a trip involving more than a mile, no, I wouldn't be making it every day. But I am big on lists, etc...and I learned long ago to consolidate my errands as much as possible to save gas and time. I am surprised his spark plugs lasted that long.

He wasn't remembering how old the mower was. I had reminded him when we bought the tractor that it would be going out soon, and to go ahead and get the mower for the back of the tractor. He was thinking that it was only about 6 years old and it is more like 15 years old.
