Oh, well...sent Hubby Pics., he seems to like it even though he initially said that he did not like French Door Refrigerators and the Samsung Commercial with the Little Kid opening the "Snack Drawer" was Icing on the Cake!! Delivery is set for Monday, he will be back home when it gets here. So I'm Bach'ing it and eating out...Olive Garden last night, 5 Guys Today...where to go tonight??!!

Panera is always a good choice anytime!! But NO...my Daughter called and needed...well, needed her Mommy. So we talked and I was already sitting in Taco Bell's Parking Lot. I did think about Panera but when you are needing something to eat at 9 o'clock at night...you go to Taco Bell!!

They've been threatening to make the Sun come out for 2 Days now...no such Luck!!

Flippin' Neighbors set off a Whirly Bird Firework last night as I was getting home, showered the back of the Durango with Sparks and the remanents landed in the Parking Strip right in front of our house!! They came over to make sure everything was OK, but boy I was not happy, I really wanted to ask them if they like watching their $$ go Up in Smoke??!! We get bombarded every year really bad and no one seems to want to come over and pick up their C-R-A-P the next Day!!

Ok, I'll get off my Soap Box now!!

RJ- that's insane! I hate stupid neighbors. My next door neighbors are cool, but I have my share of idiot neighbors in my community as well.

I just checked to see what the Laws were in our County, but how am I supposed to know what is Legal or not if I don't know what they are shooting off??!!

"Only common fireworks legal in the state of Washington may be possessed or discharged. All firecrackers, salutes, chasers, skyrockets and bottle rockets are illegal to either possess or discharge! It is also illegal to obtain fireworks via mail order or via public transporter. Large devices commonly known as M-80s, M-1000s or home made devices are also illegal. Possession of these types of devices is a felony and may also violate state and federal explosive statutes." Really expains alot to the Average Person...doesn't it??!! NOT!!

I have the new HTC EVO and have a Police Scanner App., things get pretty interesting this time of year.

ive been hearing a lot of very large fire crackers in my area too... those that sound larger than M60's. im pretty sure they are illegal. this am while motoring my Z i found several remains of these large fire crackers in the streets and even a football that was shredded from inside-out with burn marks. i am pretty sure they were loaded up with some sort of explosive and tossed from a car or at a car.

i wish our state would just ban consumer fireworks all together.

so i wrapped my G's rear valance and it turned out nice. but it just did not go with the rest of the car's theme... it looked too playful where as my G's more of an elegant touring sleeper car.

so i peeled it all off. hahaha. and SprayOn waxed afterwards.

got tired of paying USPS all this money for freight, so ordered up a larger roll this time. going to do my Z's roof and b-pillars on both my Fit's.
