The Longest Day

I cannot begin to tell you how worn out I am right now.

I left the house mid-morning to take Maggie May in for adoption. Yeah, she wasn't really planning on cooperating. Bitch.

I get out to finish unloading my stuff to discover 5" of water on the floorboard on the passenger side. No, I didn't leave the window down. And yes, the weather stripping was in place. No clue as to what happened. It's a mystery.

I get everything cleaned up and we finally hit the road. Get to the dealer and well, lets just say it didn't go as smoothly as it should have.

To add pain to my misery Maggie May decided she was not going to cooperate. At all.

Her one remaining window that actually worked stopped working. The air and heat? Yeah. Nada. The only thing that was actually functioning on that car other than the engine was the trunk latch. It was horrible.

Anyway - to make a long story short, it took all friggen day. All day at the car dealer.

I was late meeting up with two of my favorite guys. I was sooooo looking forward to seeing and chatting with RSM while he was in the area - T1G arranged the whole thing and I was psyched. Yeah well, I got all of 15 mins with RSM and poor T1G stayed to keep me company while I drank a beer and wolfed down a couple of chicken fingers. Damn - I really wanted to spend some quality time with those two.....

Anyway - Maggie May is offically retired. I was actually a little teary leaving her behind, believe it or not. We've been through a lot, she and I. She was a great car for me. I'll miss her.

But I have a new baby now. She's very pretty. A little mysterious. Kinda sleek and sophisticated. I call her Lana.

It suites her.

But now? Now I settling in with a good Capt'n and Diet and watching a movie with my family. I doubt I'll make it much past the intro, but I'll give it my best shot.

Then tomorrow.....Lana and I are going to spend some time getting aquainted.
