HEY ALL!! Hello to # 500!! WOW

    "    Well my name is a number, a piece of plastic film, and I'm growin' funny flowers, in my little window sill, don't you know I'm a 2000 man, and my kids, they just don't understand me at all, well my wife still respects me, I really misused her, I am having an affair, with a random computer    "    Well spent about 4 hours yesterday at the Nissan Dealership getting maintenance work done on the Rouge. It was the 60,000 mile work, and was expensive. Plus had to have the serpentine belt replaced. They say next time in I will need brakes, about $300 per axle. FUN TIMES!! Why does it seem SOOO expensive to get regular repairs and maintenance work done on cars anymore?? Between the clutch and miscellaneous work on the Ranger, and now this work on the Rouge I'm out about $2500.00!!! Just seems like a lot. The plus side is, I have NOT had to make a monthly car payment for about 14 years!! Got more errands to do yet this week still!! I did do a little ($150) worth of grocery shopping yesterday as well. OK, this is my 500TH post!! Seems a little weird, I never envisioned getting to this point. Now I'm thinking, 'I'm half way to 1000!!'. Still Amazing!! Nothing going on with eBay, even with a BIG sale going on. I figure it should start to turn around about mid-February.  My hip is still bothering me, not real bad, but I can still feel the pain and it varies day to day. So tells me I will probably need more attention to it. CHOW MOI!!
