southern ramblings

I have had quiet a time with my car lately. First it was the spark plugs and wires, which my dad took and had replaced so they are brand new. Can I have an AMEN for daddy's by the way??? I got back in town Monday and on Thursday my car started over heating. So I ended up having to replaced the radiator. OUCH on the wallet. Then the very next day (Friday) a tractor trailor truck tire shred off its weel bed a few cars in front of me. The first car missed it, second one ran over it and popped it up right in front of me - there was nothing I could do it was morning rush hour and no lane to swerve into b/c of traffic. It ended up shattering my head light. Thankfully that was all - but that was more money into my car. Then, Thursday of the next week, it started over heating again (after the car shop had closed of course), so I took it in on Friday. Now my water pump and timing belt are messed up.

So today is Monday, I've taken the day off work to have my car fixed. While it has been nice to accomplish many little projects - I don't like not having my car. Oh well - hopefully it will be finished this afternoon, although they just called and asked if I was planning on having it back today. That is probably not a good sign.
