Good Morning, FS Warriors! I figured it's about time I checked in here. DW got home yesterday. She's pretty content to lie in bed, until the lure of Facebook becomes too overwhelming. Well, the insurance adjuster totalled the van. I could have had it repaired and hoped for the best, but I figured the impact was in the front, yet it shattered the sliding door window, so something shifted or twisted. I'm not taking any chances. I did something I haven't done before; found a nice SUV on the internet and made an offer. There were lots of pictures and a Carfax report, so I'm keeping fingers crossed.
Pretty cold outside. We got about 5 inches of snow last night. I left work and headed straight over to the tire place and had new tires put on the truck. Made me feel a little froggy though. I drove in the snow hitting about 70 mph in some places. If I go sideways, I'm sure my speed will diminish, but I kept her straight. I love 4WD and good tires! I did run into (not literally) a lot of people that were afraid of entering eternity apparently - going 20 mph on relatively clear roads. I don't mind people slowing down for road conditions, but if you do, then don't ride the guy's bumper in front of you so nobody can pass. I ran into strings of as many as 8 cars going 25 - 30 mph on snow covered roads, within inches of the bumper in front of them. How is that safer than what I do?
I'm expecting a counter offer on the SUV, or someone else may step up and offer full price. I was looking for a vehicle when I found this one, so I guess I can live with that also. As long as I buy her something nicer than what she had, I am safe. Well, that's about the most interesting stuff going on in the life and times of DK right now. I don't really want any more excitement right now. Wishing you all a great day. Toodles!
