Rain, Rain and more RAIN! There have been flood watches flying around like crazy for days now! and last night they say there was hail and all sorts of stuff going on down around Nashville, we got lucky tho the hail part must've turned or something because it didn't hit here.
Today started out as a rather yucky day, to start with my brakes were acting all sorts of weird, sometimes going all the way to the floor, and with the wet roads it sent me into a skid three times, and as I tried to stop at a stop sign they were so slow about catching that I didn't think they would catch and I got about half-way out in the road with an 18-wheeler bearing down on me, luckily there was nothing in the north bound lane so thankfully he managed to swerve around me, I was headed to the shop to get an alignment and stuff anyway so I went in and grabbed one of the guys and had him go drive with me, he was only doing about 30 so the brakes worked fine for him, I told him you gotta beat this to see what I mean lol I told him to floor it, I don't poke when I drive, I haul! so he kicked it up to about 60 and sure enough when he hit the brake it went "spongy" as he called it, even tho he thought I was nuts they went ahead and did some sort of adjustment on them and now I've got a nice firm pedal that stops at the top where it should! I swear men never listen lol

Today was dentist day, which I was sure was gonna be a total nightmare! I went in figuring on a root canal, but when they did the x-ray he said he could fill it! I was jumping for joy! well as much as I could be jumping being about half-lit on the gas rofl I told Dr. K I bet he just loves to see me coming, I'm probably the biggest coward he sees, and he said no there's actually a big ol boy in his 30's that's alot worse than I am, so now I don't feel like a total chicken lol I've even got an appointment for next Wednesday at 8 to get more fillings as soon as I get the runts dropped off, I just hope I can get mom to keep Angela so the girls at the office won't have to baby-sit, course they all think that kid is the best thing since sliced bread lol they say they seldom get comic relief and "Angela's just a hoot!" rofl
I've got a bunch of customs to work on so I best get back at it before my buddy has my head for moving so blasted slow lol

Hi Aretha! Glad to hear your dentist trip went well. Actually, you cannot feel a thing when having a root canal. Our rain finally left yesterday. Hugs!

Don't you just love it when you know what the problem is with your car, and some mechanic acts like you are some kind of nut! We know our cars, we are in them everyday! That kills me! Miss you dear Aretha!!
