one year anniversary

It's the one year anniversary of when I purchased my car.

I had a Nissan Frontier for over 7 years and was so glad to get rid of it. I bought it 2 months after I moved to NC 'cause it was so useful for moving stuff around but I hadn't planned on keeping it for so long.

Now, even after a year, I'm still quite happy with my little Hyundai Elantra. It's an amazing improvement over that nasty Frontier. And having a nice MP3 enabled stereo is great plus the leather interior. I really hated having the fabric bench seat in that truck. Yuck.

That was the only truck I've ever owned and I just never liked it much. I'll admit they're quite convenient --there's rarely a week that goes by when I don't think that it'd be a lot easier to do something with a truck-- but I hate driving trucks!

It makes a lot of difference to a journey (even a short one) if you are driving something you enjoy driving doesn't it?

Glad you and your car are still happily together! Trucks are great for some things... But very cumbersome.

Pretty blue....It looks like a really nice car and Hyundai has a really good reputation. My hubby has a Ford 250 4x4 with an extra bench. I hate driving it. 2 winters ago I slid in that thing on the drive and almost went through the plate glass window in the living room. He can have it.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
