Given all the spare parts you travel with, her request for some spare clothing isn't unreasonable. Have fun!

Jerry, what’s this new MB you referred to? And what goes if it joins your stable?

The trunk would have been fine, without a doubt…. If I had removed my golf clubs!

Last week we replaced the TV room carpet and as such is usually the case everything had to come out to do so.
The only thing hat stayed was the TV since it was mounted on the wall.
It did include emptying the AV equipment rack. Needless to say this was an opportunity to not put some things back.
So the VCR and the DVD player didn't make the cut with only the comcast box, the BluRay player and the big Onkyo home theatre going back in.

I can't tell how much my beloved bride is looking forward to redoing the carpet in my office area for some reason.....

My father in law was famous for speeding tickets into his 80's. I used to tell him he could no longer "drive his age." The heavy foot has been passed down from generation to generation.

It's a crazy world out there kids people are getting squirrelly again. I took a ride this morning to the bigger, cheaper grocery store to load up and it was quite the adventure. I split up the trip between highway and 2 lane road. On the 2 lane part I came across an accident were a car had hit a green mountain express shuttle bus dead center head on. The bus was right were it was supposed to be in the right lane, the car had gone into the bus' lane and hit it head on. Then on the highway part I moved into the left lane and there was a hhr behind me but it was a ways back and then suddenly I could see he was picking up speed so I moved over then he went flying by me and there was an Audi sedan behind him flying with a loud exhaust and no plates on it. The guy in the HHR moved over and stuck both middle fingers out the window at the Audi driver who just kept flying down the road, then the HHR driver decided to chase him. Then I'm in the supermarket and a guy has his carriage on one side of the aisle and he is on the other side looking at stuff blocking the aisle. So I waited figuring he would move and then he sees me and says "why didn't you just say hey asshole move". I told him no problem I'm not in a rush. Then he was muttering as he walks away "guy makes me look like an asshole".
On the plus side I helped two older ladies reach something and they thanked me and I was sitting at a light and three people crossing the street commented on what a gorgeous car my S was.

Just saw a large cicada on my window screen. Not sure where he came from. Maybe he is from the 17 1/4 year brood.
