I am sure you will all forgive me for this short blog tonight... Couldn't make it up if I tried... I went today to replace my car that had just come off lease with a new one... dropped of my car, filled out and signed all the papers for the new car... the sales rep that has sold me several cars walks me outside to the nice plush grass where my new car has been parked... he goes over a few things with me... shakes my hand and says see you in a few days when your plates come in... He walks back inside, I drive off... call Toots on the new integrated blue tooth to check how it sounds... hang up... stop in traffic and the cars stalls... dies... won't start... I push the little button thinking that maybe I turned it off instead of hanging up the phone... nothing... I push it and hold it in a little longer.. it starts and stalls... mind you I have only driven about 200 yards... so now traffic is backed up past the dealership... I push the button again... it starts and stalls... guy pulls up alongside of me and says... Hey Buddy... your cars on fire... I now smell the smoke... see it billowing out from under the hood... I call the dealership... tell my sales rep.. we have a problem... he asked what.. I said see the traffic in front of the dealership... look west... you'll see the me.. and if you can't you'll see the smoke... from me... I hear an O SH*T from his side.. I push the little button yet again... it starts.. I push my foot to the floor drop it in gear... swing around in the traffic and drive this now smoking car... right back up onto the lush staging area, where I was at just a few moments earlier... sales guy and entire service dept meets me... mechanic says... well that it right... People mulling around inside the show room either moved towards my car that is billowing enough smoke to .. well smoke a fish.. others are making their way towards the exits.. figuring quality definitely isn't job one... sales guy tells me.. he will take care of everything.. hands me keys to another car and tells me to call later... he just wants me out of there... Turns out a piece of plastic from shipping got caught in the fan belt... the smoke was from the plastic... Needless to say.. I pick up a new car tomorrow...
counter talk... 20 days... time flies.. where has it gone... yadda yadda yadda.... I went to the extreme tonight... was at a meeting at school where they asked your children's names and grade... Big Sis, 6.. Little Guy 1... "Dot" 5 years away... yep, they knew I'd be at those meetings long after they were done.... 20 days.. house is looking good.. the major stuff outside the room has been completed.... Toots actually has me doing secondary items... items that compliment the primary things that needed to be done... Feel sorry for her.. she isn't sleeping.. her not sleeping is generating lots of lists... lots of little things that need to be accomplished...
Hey... Not sure if you know but you can leave comments... Regardless, I suggest you check out the comment in last night's blog.. it makes perfect sense to my memories and recollections as well as how I mentioned sometimes we take a story as if we lived it... To anonymous... welcome to the blog.. thanks for your comments... To Toots... yea some of them (My Posts)are boring but I get some folks thinking...
that is it for tonight.... Kids have off tomorrow due to water main break at school... so I need my rest... keep those cards and letters coming..
Good night.. be good..
