Where to start
the car maybe after taking three no two carloads of stuff out of my car I went down to the dealer with Karen who drives the truck and as I sat with the car salesman which was interesting she went and took the third load of stuff out of my car and even that filled her truck it was interesting
I had looked at cars online and the car like mine was supposed to be $50,000 which of the the reason I had gone down to ira in the first place but by the time I got there the $50,000 was now 62,000 that's a lot different but I did look at the smaller version which is a forerunner which should be fine I will not be able to inadvertently by 9 tons worth of rock and be able to pull it up the driveway which my other card did ------my limit on this car there's probably two draft hources will be will be stretching it but to run one draft or surround in a horse trailer should be fine----- likewise in plowing the snow with my car with my old Sequoia I could let it accumulate 8 inches and still go push it around this one is probably more of a four inch and push it around now go back to bed and come back 4 inches later and as I say with the snow there's always the tractor with this nice heated cab------
so that's the story of the well there's more stories. when I was talking with the salesman to start with he had mentioned the fact that they were taking forever to get cars they were six weeks or whatever behind and all that sort of thing end that's when he was trying to talk me into that $62,000 thing but when I changed to the 4 runner he was thrilled to have one in red and he never said one word about how long it was going to take to get it but in the back of my mind it could take awhile which is really no problem for me because I don't really want to go out in the cold anyway you know if I need to go somewhere there are plenty of cars around and I'm not gonna go hauling too much trailer and rocks and things in this weather I'll just stay home.
OK so next problem
Well then there is Janine decided to sell her car whatever it is I've forgotten so she put it on Craigslist or wherever it is you put things like that now and she had somebody coming to look at it here at the house while she also had a business conference call and had Wanda with her
now I will give a nickel I'll even give a polished nickel to anybody who now thinks how can you have Wanda in that house where you set up rat trapz set up in places where the great Danes cannot get to and then there's Wanda it was as big as great Danes head so all of a sudden I thought my God she could easily stick her head in places like that these rat traps are pretty damn strong so there was a great panic to get Wanda under control which turned out to be on my lap -------while surely either sold the car or whatever else was happening I don't know and then we got into should she sell the car life and there's no reason I should have to drive a junky car so I decided to buy a new one and I decided on 4 runner it's smaller they they're going to give me $26,000 cash and the 4 runner is going to cost 45 so you know for $19,000 I’ve. a new car that's good ------ so that's the way that's gonna happen well that's a whole other story he very had some coming in and one of them was red so I said fine I'll take the red one and at that point I think I'm still working on that it's gonna take six weeks to get it -------there was no correction to that statement at all ----but you know the six weeks of this weather , I am happy to stay indoors.
