I’ve noticed that when it comes to hardware removed from your body, there are to kinkds of people out there:
- Those who are interested and immediately grab it for a closer look
- Those who freak out, hold their hands above their heads, and look like they’re gonna faint.
I’ve been showing the screws and rods that they removed around here at work and people deffinately fall under one of those two catagories. The interested people usually ask it see the picture I have of my x-ray, the ones who freak out usually look for the nearest exit.
Today has been kinda rough on my back. I’ve walked more in the last two days than I have in the previous 3 weeks, and I’m feeling every step in my back right now. I took a pain killer but now I’m all mushy and stuffs. Hard to work with a head full of oatmeal.
Other stuffs:
My wife has finally decided that it’s time to get rid of her Durango.
She’s been looking at vehicles online and believes she’s found what she wants: The 2005 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.
She want’s it in the Indigo Ink Perl color shown above, with heated leather seats and heated side mirrors (no more scraping the mirrors and messing up where they point in the winter!). I called the dealer and they expect these to start arriving at the dealer in around 2 months. We’ll look at the normal Highlanders they have in stock. Then, if my wife still likes them, we’ll put down a deposit and order one for her (in her color, with her options).
We did look into other vehicles: the Ford Escape Hybrid and Mercury Mariner Hybrid, but neither one really did much for either of us. They don’t have much in the way of style, both are first attempts at a hybrid vehicle, and the quality realy isn’t there in those manufacturer’s products. They also got worse mileage than the Highlander Hybrid. So… once again I’m going with an import.
