tuesday 10-12? - 10p
A friend told me about a truck, that's about a thousand miles away, and it's just the old truck that I really want...and really dont' need. But now that one of the twins is old enough that he really wants to work on cars, it's the perfect excuse...and mom said we can get it...oh boy, just what we need.
Maybe we'll go up the weekend after this and get it. If it's as nice as he says it is, but we won't find out till we get there! what fun.
Of course the old truck needs an engine, and to be put back together, but it's supposed to be in real good shape...and we have the needed engine freshly rebuilt sitting in the garage, etc. So it sounds perfect. And we can always pull the "it's so much cheaper than a new one" rationalization.
and some people don't have any cars at all! maybe we should sell the wanna-be cop car, but it's just so practical, getting way good mileage and costing almost nothing to keep, and safe for the kids to drive, etc.
I was gonna say no to the new truck, but mom talked me into it. Maybe she's feeling guilty about her new used car she got last winter, this one only costs 1/10th as much.
oh boy.
That Jones book is interesting,the story keeps winding around and getting more interesting. And there's quite a bit of sex in it for a book written 40 years ago, but then there was quite a bit in the other book of his written over 50 yrs ago. Which is actually refreshing, to have sex mentioned frequently, since at least some of us spend a sizeable portion of the day thinking about it. Or maybe I'm just wierd!
