Rainy Sunday

Man, we got more rain Saturday night and Sunday than we have in almost the whole time out here, save for Katrina and Rita! Sunday, my wife and daughter went shopping and I stayed in an watched the NFL playoffs, some golf and a bit of basketball! Made a pot of chili, had a few cold brews and really relaxed. The last few days since my B day have been hectic. Getting the insurance company to rent me a car, getting the car, getting stuff out of my truck, trying to find another truck and wondering just how much the insurance guy will offer me to total my truck! Well, I did have a great workout at the gym on Saturday while I watched UK win again (by luck!) I got to watch them win the night before my birthday and that was a nice present (and surprise, they really suck this year).

The Toyota Camry (sp?) we are renting is a really nice car with all the whistles and bells. I like the lumbar adjustment particularly well! I hope to find a decent pick up truck I can get, something in the 98,99,00 range. One thing about trucks in the south, they keep their re-sale value and they are really popular. I don't think I want an SUV, but that is an option. I just don't really like driving cars any more... they are so low and I like the increase vision that being up in a truck or SUV provides. I like being able to see over cars in front of me to see potential trouble from farther back.

With some of the money I got from my Mom's will (not very much), I went ahead and paid all my late and pending bills for the month! First time I have been up since we got here and it feels good! Of course, just as soon as I get a little bit ahead, something else comes along needing my money, like getting another car! The little bit from settlement on my truck will help, but I will have to put more with it to get anything recent and/or decent!

Anyway, my Panthers lost, so I guess I will cheer for the Steelers in the SuperBowl. I can't imagine it has come to that, but I just can see myself pulling for Seattle. My wife is a big Steelers fan (she likes the colors) and I do like the old fashion, smash mouth, style of football they play. If they could just get that one guy to cut his hair! It is hard for me to pull for a team with a linebacker that has hair down to his mid-back! If I were playing, I wouldn't be able to resist grabbing and handfuls of it and jerking the hell out of him! How can a real football player have hair longer than most women I know?

But, it is another day and age now and I guess this is just part of it, right?

Good day
