First Childs first wreck in his first car

March 8th, 2007 No comments

It was bound to happen and I’ve been dreading this day since he started driving. My Son wrecked his car yesterday afternoon and fortunately he is fine. His ego as well as his car is a little bruised. PICS. He made the same mistake so many teenagers make at that age. He dropped his cell phone on the floor and reached down to pick it up. I’ve had that happen to me but unfortunately I was the one who was rear-ended due to someone else not paying attention, looking away.

At least it was not a $10,000 car. I do not believe it is worth fixing and I’m looking for an alternative. My car is still in the shop being worked on and should be out shortly. That still presents us with a problem now only having one vehicle and three people that need to get to work. We’ll work it out somehow.

A friend of mine offered to finance a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix for my son a while back and I just checked with him and it is still available. I’ll be getting back with him.

Our new Dodger

March 6th, 2007 No comments

Well, it’s been a month since we picked up Dodger and we are loving him. He is such a “firecracker!” He loves being outdoors and runs around the back yard like a rabbit. Chases any animal he comes in contact with in the back yard. One night before going to bed I let him out and did not notice an opossum on the back patio. Before I knew it Dodger chased him over our fence.

He’s not afraid of anything. He is so playful. His favorite food so far is Mighty Dog’s porter-house steak and gravy. He also likes there beef product. He has urinated on the carpet a few times but that’s when we don’t let him out enough. He also gets into anything we leave laying around. Overall he is a very good dog and is so happy when one of us comes in. We’ve meant to have pics posted by now and have taken some with our camera phones but none of us have the ability to send them anywhere. Pics will be up soon.

I’m looking for a new dog – DONE

February 6th, 2007 No comments

Well, my wife and I picked up Dodger yesterday in Vicksburg from the Southern Paws Rescue. He was all ready to go when we got there and anxious to get out where all the dogs around him were tall Standard Poodles. He is very shy and quite. He is in love with my wife and follows her everywhere. Can’t say I blame him, I try to do the same thing.

Orderded New Gauges

February 1st, 2007 No comments

Wes ordered new gauges and hopefully they will arrive early next week. He bought it from eBay so hopefully it comes in as shown. This if filling two needs. One, his speedo is busted. Two, it will look much better. I do have a concern that we just bought face-plates instead of a 3 cluster gauge set. Checking around on the Internet I find that it seems it really is a 3 cluster set of gauges. Time will tell when we receive them. I certainly hope they come with instructions on how to install them.
