Thought I had a developing flat tire this morning heading in to work when the dash warning popped on and said "you have a tire about to go flat, dummy. Didn't you CHECK the tires?" Stopped at Discount Tire - they pulled all four, dunked them into the water and found .. nothing. One tire was three pounds low on air, but big whoo.
Yesterday, I had the car over at the OTHER tire place - NTB for a rotate/balance and alignment. I picked the car up and as I was waiting for them to print the paperwork, one of the technicians was looking out the front windows and said to those of us at the counter "That sure is a beautiful car. I want to talk to that guy when he comes in."
The guy who was finishing my paperwork says to him "which car?" The tech says "That red Bonneville - that's even that GXP model. They didn't make very many. It's just so beautiful."
I said "uh, hi there - that's my car. Thanks!"
It's always a great feeling of validation when a car guy is openly admiring your car. I guess I should wax it this weekend, huh?
Have a guy coming over tomorrow after lunch to look at some of the model trains, which would be AWESOME, as I could convert those he buys into new desk furniture for myself here at the office. I have found some in a Baytown warehouse (owned by a guy that Judy knows) that is SO awesome - it's .. well, I'll just post some pictures.
Isn't that yummy looking? It would be so much more attractive than this tackarama metal furniture that's here now.
You can't really see it from MY side, where the drawers are all busted, the formica is all chewed up and so on.
More Dexter watching tonight, it seems. I'm SO glad to be re-Treo'd. You have NO idea.
