OK,..time for the interior!

*snicker*
 
LOL Jaybird,

I was wondering where you'd been.

I hope all of your weddings/graduation stuff went well.

I promise, when the car is presentable, you will have your picture :p

She's back in the capable hands of my body guys.

Hopefully just a couple of days til I'm back on the road.

I've just dusted off my snoopy hat. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Jerry /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
WOOHOO!

Actually I'm not home free until Sunday, the wedding is tomorrow. And leaving on vacation 3 weeks from tomorrow. I cannot wait!! Although I'll miss the B and pestering you guys terribly. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

Dust off that camera too Jerry. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
Someone call a priest, quick,,,

MY CAR IS POSSESSED!!!!!






We've gone from the windshield shop to the bodyshop. Body's coming along great, ready for paint,..and....

CRACK

There goes another windshield.
All by itself, I was there when it happened. PFFFT! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Ok,..so I kind of thought that would happen, so I have yet another spare frame to try.

Then,...I go to move the car for the body guys, cause they're afraid of her now, and ...

POP,...GUSH, GUSH

Coolant everywhere,..freeze plug popped ,..AGAIN! grrrrrrr.

I think I may buy a tow truck, cause it'll definately save me some $$$. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif


I'm gonna go have a beer.

Than I'm going to get my crucifix, stand in front of the car and start chanting lines from "The Exorcist"

Later! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Jerry
 
I'm not sure ONE beer is going to do the job Jerry. This is starting to sound like something that would happen to me. Might I suggest you giving your B a nice bath...in holy water??? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

OH WAIT! I got it figured out now. You're doing all this to avoid gettingme my PICTURE! That's it!

LOL Jaybird,

You were right,..one beer didn't quite do it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

But you are wrong about the picture.
I would gladly flood the internet with photos of me in my snoopy attire, if it meant I had my B in proper shape. LOL

Anyway,..hopefully the crucifix and chanting worked.

Hmmm,...I used to work with a lady who was a real voodoo priestess,...might be worth a call. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

OK,..back to the beer /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Jerry
 
You might ask her for a mojo bag Jerry. You can hang it from your rear view mirror.

ONCE it's reattached to a windshield! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Sorry, couldn't resist! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
~smiles ever so sweetly~
 
You know Jerry, if you don't laugh about this, there's just not enough Heine in the world. I can't believe the bad luck you're having, but I promise this too shall pass. You'll have your baby home very soon and I'll have my pic and we'll both be happy! Got any sort of time frame?
 
Jaybird,

If I wasn't laughing,..I'd be in deep doo-doo. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My mechanic was shocked when I called him, and was laughing today.

Things like this don't get to me. As much as I love her, she's a car...and WILL be fixed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Timeframe,...hmm,..bodyshop will be done by Thursday,..then back to the mechanic, then the glass shop,..I'd say April. lol

Nah,..she'll be all set by next week,..and boy will I give you a big ol smile in that pic /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
I'm going to hold you to that Jerry. Hey, I need something to look forward too besides vacation, now that all the other events are out of the way!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
 
Cool

I bet y'all had a great time at the wedding /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm gearing up for a bunch of parties on my boss' yacht.

Every year, forth of July week, we do ten dinner sails out of Boston Harbor. They're great fun.
A bit more work, but a bit more enjoyment.

So, starting Weds, I do dinner for 30 each night. It's cool, especially since I have NO BUDGET, so I can do all the foo-foo food I want. Caviar, foie gras, truffles and the like.

I'll barely even notice that the car is in the shop(s). /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
We had a phenomenal time at the wedding! It was absolutely perfect! And exquisite food & a cheesecake wedding cake (8 different varieties).

The dinner sails sound awesome! And carte blanche - what more could a chef ask for!? Whatcha cookin'? Typical 4th of July fare, bbq pork steaks, baked beans? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif You'll have to post all about it. (so my stomach can live vicariously through you!)
 
Oh,..I'm so happy for you, jaybird! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You must have been so proud, and to have everything turn out so well,..These are the moments we live for /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'll let you know how the sails turn out.

I'm waiting for a few more ingredients to get here.
Keeping my fingers crossed that my friend makes it through customs tomorrow (he's smuggling summer truffles from his family's farm in Italy,..heeheehee)

For the rest of the year at my job, I'm either cooking for the kids, or for parties of 100+,...so these little parties give me a chance to try to really WOW people. I love the challenge /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ok,..back to writing the menus. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Post the menus, k?
 
Jerry, check in. Or are you in jail for smuggling in Italian truffles???
 
OK,..so I've been kind of aloof lately,..working and playing,..and best of all driving my lil car with a windshield, inspection sticker and properly modified insurance. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'm sure jaybird thinks I'm delaying,..but I'm not,..I've been without my camera for a few weeks,..lent it to my sis for her family vacation.

I've got the snoopy hat and goggles in my trunk,..I'll pose for a snap this weekend, when she comes home /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

Here's a few shots that the guys at the detail shop took for their website:

I hope you're all enjoying a FANTASTIC summer! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
