Ha! Hi Tammy! I was just getting ready to type when you caught me napping at the keyboard! I’ve been up for a while but I got to reading on the Internet about the withdrawal from Iraq. About time!

OK —— I’m back. I was going to type more last time but discovered I had forgotten the “Family Picture” —— so I found one of A & B at Mount St. Helen’s. I really enjoyed that vacation!
Next on the agenda is to get the garage cleaned out today so we can get the cars back in. We had to scrape frost yesterday and that is a bad thing.

Yesterday was a bit hectic. I finally got Tracey’s #Piaggio in to get the rear tire replaced. I had to get all my stuff together first though. I spent a while searching around my messy desk for the license plate sticker for the trailer. Then I had to got out and clean the gunk off the plate so the sticker would stay on.
I finally found the tie down straps in the back of the hall closet on the floor. Many moons ago brother Alan had borrowed them and when he returned them I didn’t put them back where they belonged in the garage.
Fortunately Tracey remembered seeing them in the hall closet. So then I had to get the trailer all hooked up to the Blazer and then wrassle the motorcycle up onto the trailer and strap it down. Altogether the trip there, the unloading, the trip back, etc. spent the entire afternoon. Sheesh even!

Then come Monday I HAVE to get the #Blazer in to have it looked it. The poor thing just doesn’t want to run. Tammy was kind enough to share the name of her mechanic so I will be giving him a call for an appointment.

I am sooooooo frustrated! I balance my checkbook and pay bills EVERY Saturday morning. Well, CEFCU has decided they need a new website. I CANNOT use that dumb thing! Thankfully, if you log off and then log back on, you get to use the old website. So after 4 log ons/offs, I am done balancing and paying!..Whew! Of course, I emailed them twice this morning with my “concerns”!
I just visited my mechanic on Wed. I’ve had this noise in my front end for a “little” while. Well, it was getting worse and moved to the front left wheel.
So, I called him and left him a message Tues. night. He called me back Wed. morning and told me to just call when I was done working to see if he had a hoist open.
So, Wed. after work, I called and he had a hoist open. Somehow, I’ve manage to break and lose the links between my sway bar and wheel axle or whatever it hooks to. The sway bar was only 14 months old so Chris called and got the company to give the links to me free.
Now I’m just waiting for the links to come so I can have Chris put them on. It’s always something with these vehicles! The bad thing is, usually when 1 vehicle has to go in, the rest develop problems too! Sure hope my paycheck isn’t spent on 4 vehicles! We have the vehicle domino effect over here!
Saw and talked to Ben last night at my weekly - Fri. night trip to Kmart.

It seems like too many businesses think they have to change their web sites every year or so. And rarely do the changes make them more useful. Good Luck!
We had the four drivers, three cars shuffle going for the past couple years. It wasn’t too bad in the summer because we had our motorcycles to ride. Tracey rode hers to work a lot. But now that winter is coming on we decided we needed another car. And Tracey really wanted a VW bug with bun warmers. We still have the Ford and the Blazer with over 130,000 miles each so we too have to rotate them through the car repair shop. It IS always something.
