Maria, what tickled me was the fact that this same guy was here several months ago driving his "bosses" new van and pulled the wire switch then too. Guess he thought I'd forgotten.He was so obvious.I know how the truck runs, and when he left the yard he goosed the gas pedal to make it look like the engine was missing, went around the corner, switched wires, waited a couple minutes then came sputtering back. Then since he was such a sterling person, asked how much I wanted for it now that it didn't run. I'd give it to a charity before selling it to him. Next week an ad goes in the newspaper! I love that little truck, but it has sat around unused for over a year. Might be time to 'let go'. DW and friend have gone to see that movie about Penguins that is supposed to be so good. Paying too much to sit in a theater with a scad of people, with audio too loud and popcorn equalling the price of Caviar to watch a bad movie isn't my idea of a good time. This movie might be an exception though, I'll know later. Wish there were some movies that weren't rife with filthy language and violence. Cyrano de Bergerac with Jose Ferrar was good, and the violence was in good taste, as was Sound of Music, and even most of the old black and white movies. Don't get me started on that! ' Lost' and 'Desperate Housewives" are due to start up soon. I liked both of them. Adventure and humor in good taste. Where has the day gone? its after 3:00 and all I've done is water and build part of a gate. Did spend too many hours on-line this morning looking for another blue merle shelty. There is a huge number of Sheltie breeders listed from all over the world-- mind boggling. Hope I can find one nearby to give Tinker a playmate.
Why do you let me ramble on so much and say so little! I'm going in the kitchen and brew up a pot of Earl Grey tea and have another piece of peach pie, maybe with a bit of vanilla ice cream. There's lots there so come on over.
