And so It Continues

Taking another stab at buying a used Jeep.  First attempt didn't go so well, but wasn't the end of the world, until...we wrecked my Cobalt.  Have since put 2000 or so miles on a Jeep that gets no oil to the top of the engine due to a bad main seal....and, let me tell you, she sounds pretty awful. 

So we now own a red 2001 Jeep as well as the black.  Red has a better engine. Black has a nicer body. Red has nicer tires. And so it goes.  If nothing else, we can always drop Red's engine into Black's body if we chose to do so sometime down the road. Ed said direct engine swap $400.

Really, I just want my car back.  I miss the 30 miles per gallon. A LOT.  Black jeep is getting 10, which is half of what it should be getting, but since we have to put it in neutral at lights and hammer down on the accelerator to build up oil pressure...its not much of a shock.


Work blows so far this week. Yes, I realize it IS MONDAY....but really, when you spend half the day arguing with a magazine/book rep that, yeah, the BUYBACKS come from CORPORATE and I REALLY CAN'T just add random books to it because you WANT me to..I'm just ready to send the damn books back without talking to her anymore.  I have to SEND back the BOOKS ON THE BUYBACK. Not other books. Not pig feed. Those EXACT items. Nothing more, nothing less.  So by the end of my day tomorrow, the damn things are going out UPS one way or another.  Fuck you lady.  I know you are trying to do your job, but in doing your job you seem to be trying to get me fired.

Also it is nasty windy cold.  And, of course, the storm the other week blew away all my signage and we have no more out door sleeves...so I had to just red out door tag the shit out of stuff.  Also I get to count Quad 5 this week...meaning the side lot. I spend some of my day today counting about half of it so I won't have to freeze my butt off so much tomorrow.

Work would be a much happier place if we were just all shit faced drunk.



On a happier note, I am making  a rag rug.  Once I get all the braids that I have braided sewn together, I think I'm going to need more shirts to make it larger.  Or maybe I won't make it larger, just depends.

                       

DAY ONE

                                                                      DAY EIGHT

It is getting large enough to be problematic as it has to be perfectly flat to sew...also I found out, DO NOT FOLD IT IN QUARTERS as it doesn't somehow want to flatten out without an iron...I kind of panicked...all those hours and all that work and it was all warped after I'd folded it. Guess I could stitch it do a towel or something?  Don't know.  Really would rather someone with a sewing machine do that. 

It is really cool and homey and colorful...all things I like.
