Semi Annual post

Where do I start? I can't start from the beginning because I have forgotten it. Somewhere in the middle? I guess so. You can always ask questions if you want and I will try to answer them. Maybe. Yes I wear underwear! Mostly... Sometimes they are even clean!

So beginning of October I decided to use the Jeep Liberty in front of me as a brake. I recommend not trying that yourselves. It worked, but it left an impression on the hood of my Envoy. As well as the fenders pushed back into the doors and the rest of the front end crunched back where it isn't supposed to be. Lots of liquid all over the ground where it isn't supposed to be. Thankfully nobody was hurt, and the Jeep didn't have whole lot of damage, and he didn't crawl out holding his neck and back.After a week the insurance company let me know that they were totaling it. I wasn't real thrilled to hear that, but when they told me how much they were giving me for it, I got much happier. I was guessing they would give me blue book value, turns out they gave me fair market value for my area, which was almost twice what I was expecting. Yay me. So I went truck shopping. I had been looking at used Chevy trucks and had sort of narrowed it down to three. I decided to go look at the GMC dealer and see what they had on the lot. I got to talking with one of the salesman and found out that with my military discount and the current incentives, it was cheaper for me to buy a brand new 2012 model. Umm, ok. So now I am the proud driver of a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab. Black. Now I have Nerf bars and under seat storage compartments and remote start key fobs on my amazon wish list.

This past weekend I was doing some finishing work in the basement when I went to move a wire, I pulled the staple out and it just fell out. Not good. So what do guys do? I poked the 2x4 and my finger went into it almost to the second knuckle. Lovely. Went after it with a hammer and then decided we needed to call a bug guy. Yep, termites. Lovely. So we are going to have to decide on a company to handle the termite spraying and then I have to get all the damage fixed. I had a drink that night.

I am also thankful that all this politic crap will be done with tomorrow. At least it is supposed to be finished. Hopefully you voted.

Tell your Pookie you love them and make a nice day!
