Copper Creek Chit Chat, part #3

[tlmoody27]

The last few cars we've had we've driven til they literally fell apart except for the Aveo that hubby traded in when he bought the Charger. And it was on its way the its deathbed had we not gotten a new car. We've sold about three cars to the junk yard where they've had to come tow them out of the driveway. It's nice to finally have two good vehicles at one time. *knock on wood*

Yeah, there is no better feeling than getting in your car and knowing that it will get you where you need to be. Conversely, there is no worse feeling than getting in your car and wondering if it will start, and if it does, will it last long enough to get you where you need to be. I've had quite a few of the latter.

 

[Bamrz]

^^Yup, couldn't agree more.^^

 

[tlmoody27]

........... I've had quite a few of the latter.

Yep, me too. My first car was an 84 Plymouth Reliant. My sister called it "Scotch" because some of it was literally held together by tape.

Or the poor kid at the gas station today. Obviously he was moving, out of state plates and his car was packed to the roof. And stuck in the middle of the lot. We helped him push it to a parking spot, but couldn't get it started with a jump. He was freaking out and on the phone when we left. I felt bad, but there was nothing we could do.

Oh poor kid. I remember days like that.

I'm sure I've mentioned the Gremlin I drove with the Fred Flintstone floor, and bungee cord driver side door closure. Or maybe the big azz Monte Carlo I had that would stall every time you went around a corner. Or the Mazda 626 that had the broken gas tank float and caused me to run out of gas on the highway, 3 times. Or the camaro that somebody stole that you needed to start with pliers while simultaneously rocking it back and forth by bouncing around in the driver seat.... there's more. Should I continue?

 

[MustangSallie]

The floor looks great Tiff!

I'd say you've had your fair share.

Thanks!

 

[FlyingV]

The floor turned out great!

Good morning everyone. Slow start for me today...

*Punkin on the run*

 

[efirdj]

Mornin' all!

Nothing too far out of the norm for me today. Work. Softball. Home. Food. Sleep. In that order.

Except that I did wake up nearly an hour late this morning. And I forgot to take my contacts out before I went to bed last night.

I did get my ProTank base in yesterday, so as soon as I can rinse and dry a coil, I can load up a flavor not House. I know House wont mind though. He's been my solo flavor for so long, I think he was getting lonely. But I'll still have two tanks loaded up with it. OH! And I got another jug of fresh House! It wont be as fresh when I crack it open next week, but its still a far cry from the months old deliciousness I usually have sitting in the vape box! Its all good though. It lets me remember why I fell in love with House in the first place. Hm.... Maybe I should start referring to House as a female. That way when I say I love House, it doesnt sound too weird... Yep. I think Im going to do that. House is officially a "she" now. Youre welcome.

Wow. I didnt realize how closely our car history was paralleled. I too have owned a barely running Monte Carlo. A POS 626. And a couple of Camaros.

But Im one of the three known people that can claim theyve owned a purple and black marbled Geo Metro convertible!!!

Good morning everyone. Slow start for me today...

*Punkin on the run*

Only liking the good morning. Not so much the slow start.

 

[tlmoody27]

Good morning. Have to put everything back in Morgan's room today. Then errands and I want to try to bathe Ruger and Fiona.

I hear crickets chirping. Anyone else hear crickets chirping???

 

[punkinduster]

Chirp Chirp!

[efirdj]

We finally got our first box of k-cups!!!

Caramel Vanilla Cream. And its pretty darned tasty.

One thing Ive noticed since we got the Keurig, is that my desire for a post lunch nap isnt nearly as intense.

 

[punkinduster]

How big is the box. One box isn't going to last very long.

Oh sure. Find the downside to my free coffee.

Its a 24 count box. Ive been drinking two cups a day. Unfortunately, there are 10 other people here. I have no idea how long one box will last. We're supposed to be getting a second box in about two weeks. Hm... I might have to start hoarding one or two every day.

 

[FlyingV]

Good afternoon everyone! Just dashing past over here, it's been busy for us.

James, you need to buy your own personal stash to keep in your desk.

and *poof*

Stash yes. Buy my own....emmmmm, no. Its cheaper to hoard the freebies.
