Was told by a friend, a man of course; if it has a steering wheel or in a skirt it means trouble. I will vouch for the steering wheel part, will also... well not going to incriminate myself here, I love my girl friend. Its that dang steering wheeled object. Now last night, well mid-afternoon to most I get in my Green Monster and all is fine. Well almost anyhow. the alternator is going out, the motor runs hot most of the time (according to the gauge on the dash) etc etc etc... well you know the ordeal, used car no payments but repair upon repair. Park said vehicle at home and even went up to the store last night to get groceries, and needed items, all was fine. Get in the Green Monster this morning, after adding water to the radiator, needing to do that for a bit. It took say a 3/4 gallon or so, start it up first to get the "juices flowing" so to speak... sounded loud, obnoxious and... well not being a mechanic, nor mechanically inclined I don't know wtf.. the car just did not sound like it usually does. Oh, did I mention I am in love... girl friend is great :)... but the dang Green Monster, fix one thing and another goes wrong. Alternator is being fixed this weekend, still lots to go but it is better than a car payment.
So my friend at work, a little more inclined to the mechanical stuff tells me it sounds like a slipping belt, well I already know about this, thus the repair on the alternator. I said no, I mean the sound of the engine. He tells me it sounds like an exhaust leak. Well this certainly beats the idea I had which was a cylinder missing or timing jumped.
So my boss being the great guy he is lets me pick up the old truck that just sits at the shop so I will get to work tomorrow, and Saturday too, get the car back on Monday and go from there, another chapter in the dealings with The Green Monster.
Oh did I mention, I am in love!
I did get the laundry put away, so I guess I accomplished something today. Actually it has been quite a busy day, typical but busy. My weekends are generally Saturday run to get stuff, groceries, supplies, and the dreaded laundry detail. Being single does have its problems. I spend much time alone and therefore have the time to do all those things that need done, hey wait, that doesn't sound so much like a problem... I sorta like being single again.
Here I sit, early Sunday morning, listening to music and writing. Excited? well... the Bengals are almost there... well I have seen them mess up easier tasks than just winning one of the remaining 3 games. I may get excited if they make the playoffs... (hope, hope, hope)
This Chris Henry deal is something. Its a terrible thing, but just seems like the guy took the steps to cause enough trouble everywhere he could. I was a bit shocked when Mike Brown took him back on the roster to start with. I thought Marvin should have had the last word when he said, "He (Chris) will never play for this club again." or near verbatim to that point. I just don't get it. Well professional sports always did seem to confuse me, all the scores, records, stats and the playoff scenarios ... time out, coffee is ready(well I always made my own coffee) ..... oh wait, Christy (x wife #2) made my coffee for me. (2 points for Christy)
ok,
Sorry, took a little time to check on the weather, this silly accu weather gadget I have on my browser keeps popping a "severe weather" bubble and the most severe part of the forecast is cold. No biggy, not like its a tornado or hurricane or something. Laugh you may, a hurricane in the mid west? Was about a year ago when the winds of Ike came roaring through. This is actually one of the only happy memories I have with that nightmare I spent over 2 years with. Oh, for new comers, that is the reference to the last gf I had. (trust me, it was a nightmare)
Back to ... Ike came through in August 08 I think it was, sitting on the balcony of my apartment winds where gusting 60 mph it was a crazy day. I was watching the trees bend and when all over I saw the destruction it left, just a bunch of brush scattered back here in the apartment lawn, but out side that, trees down, fallen on roof tops and cars. I was thinking, all this and I was on a balcony while this was happening!? one of those "wow" thoughts.
I didn't use an outline to create this post, just some random thoughts.
Everything will go back to where it came, I will become dust. Just as a bad haircut is only temporary or a shaved head; it all comes back given time. Life works this way, I know not what will happen after I am gone, but I had to be there for the events to occur. Some would call it narcissistic, but if you think for a minute, same holds true for everyone. Everyone is infamous.
Another one of those "wow" thoughts...
well maybe I shouldn't be thinking that right now. Oh hell with it, I'm a man;
and that's what my #2 x wife looked like when I married her. She aged well, I might add.
Yea, I did take her back, she left me and was welcomed back, till it became apparent that wasn't what she wanted.
So I swallowed my pride, gave in to destiny and admitted to a failed relationship.
Was a shame...
Well time is running I will talk with you again soon.
Have a wonderful day.
