I was wondering...why were you waiting so long??!!

It FINALLY turned SUNNY Today!! Oldest Daughter and I will be hitting the Mall, after my UPS Order shows up, Mr. Brown just drove by, opposite Direction, so I now it will be here soon!! Lunch @ Sonic, UPS Store to ship a 17" LCD TV w/DVD Player to Oldest Daughter, then off to the Mall!! Molly wil be tagging along too!!
We found a Great Deal on a Samsung 32" HDTV 720p for our Bedroom last week for $450 @ Best Buy, getting OLD means you can't see MLB Scoreboards on a 17" TV!!

RJ- wow, sounds like you and your oldest daughter is having fun!

yah, bestbuy does have great deals these days and they even price match so they are very cool.

as for my digital piano... these new units were suppose to be already shipping back in early April from Roland..but was given the run around and was told to wait 2 wks. then 2wks came and went and was told to wait another 2wks. well, another 2 wks came and went and was told again to wait 2wks. even got a ETA 5/27 (today)... so i was patiently waiting and then they came back telling me to wait yet another 2wks to week of 6/6. i was like then to then to then to then to then to so decided to give yamaha another try.

the last yamaha keyboard i had was back in 1993 or 94 or something.

I'm doing dandy.

Right now I'm ignoring the crazy census indian. He's back again.

He rang the door bell so I looked out the porch window to show him I'm home but didn't answer the door.

I should call my indian neighbor down the road to ask the census indian if he likes chicken tikka masala. jk that census form is so frikken raciest.

And I mailed mine in almost 2months ago...
They should hire a pretty girl and trick me into answering the door. Ill answer it and close the door.

When Sunday comes I'll be , Oldest Daughter will be leaving, going back Home to Anchorage, then I'll be 'cause Hubby will be back in town.

Got my Amazon Order Today!! Ken...the Garmin Cigarette Lighter whatcha'ma'call'it is COOL, had a hard time trying to figure out how to adjust it correctly so that I could SHIFT!! Haven't had time to Play with Radios, yet, and it's 1:36am!! Think I'll open them in bed and read the Manual so I can fall asleep!!

Sorry MO, it costs more than your gotta' have it NOW Flashlight!!
Nice Piano Ken, didn't you say you were going to give us a Demonstration too!! \

It certainly is nice to have her around, IKEA is the plan for Today, so I'm told!!

As far as New Toys, I think I have to wait a bit 'til I get my Surgery Stuff squared away and I'm back at saving to Pay Off the Molly Car. But we'll be having so much fun on the PDXMINI Club Runs I won't be worried about New Toys, just keeping Molly clean will be enough to keep me busy.

RJ- woo, IKEA sounds like fun, but sounds EXTREMELY LONG LINES AT CHECK OUT. they need to figure this out. it's like you shop for 2hrs or watever you think you're done but guess again, another 1hr to wait in the line to pay.

i think that's why they have a restaurant at the top of the building and at the exit cause you're hungry by the time you're done shopping and when you're done paying.

motored the G this am. was a nice drive. roads weren't as busy as i thought.
going to motor my Z tomorrow.

For what ever reason Oldest Daughter scrubbed the IKEA idea. We did end up going to Borders and BB, then Dinner @ Panera Bread. Today, we went to Panera Bread for Lunch!! Dinner is a Toss Up...Olive Garden, or a Local Diner?? Decisions...Decisions...Decisions!!

Molly got Drunk Today, our 1st Fill-Up since March 20th...4 Days before my Surgery!! Less than 20mpg...What's up with that??!!

So one of my spark plugs was blown out of the head today. I'll have to wait until Tuesday to have it towed somewhere for a Helicoil or Timesert repair. Might have them do all 4. I had them torqued to about 20ft-lbs, but it had been about 20,000 miles since they were installed, torque was rechecked a few hundred miles after installation.

That's all the same think, wouldn't they need to be opposing rotations if you're thinking two things at once?
