There isn't enough time in a day! I just now find the time to scribble out a few lines and look at the time. I have so much to do tomorrow morning before work that I will have to be up early and so I must rush through this entry.
My new truck is in the shop having some work re-done on it. I had new tires put on it about 3 weeks ago and the place where we went (so called, off road truck specialists, HA!) They put the wrong lugg nuts (sp?) on and it has been feeling kind of wobbly and bouncy, almost like it was out of balance ever since. They said it was the new tires, they have to be broken in a little. Well, then I would hear a weird squeeky noise when making a turn and a scrapey sound (don't you love my "highly intellegent" descriptive words?) So, I told Robert we need to have it looked at. He took it to his mechanic friend to have the brakes checked and he found that the other people put the wrong lugg nuts on because they were wallowing out the holes that the luggs were in! And 2 lugg nuts and the "male" thingy they screw onto were already broken off! My tires could have fallen right off while I was driving!! Hello! So, when we brought it back to the "specialists" they actually admitted that they messed up and so they are now fixing it and will have it for a few days. Thank goodness Wes is home so I can use his truck.
Wes moved home yesterday to get ready to leave for college over Labor Day Weekend. Tomorrow I take him school shopping for college clothes. He is going to a very strict christian college that requires dressing up for classes and daily chapel services. He must wear a collared shirt and tie everyday. He also had to shave off his goatee and sideburns. (His hair can't touch his collar or ears) I haven't seen him without facial hair in 2 years! It sounds like torture, but it will be good for him and he is even looking forward to it. I bought him a few nice dress shirts and ties the other day and he had fun trying them on. So, we will be taking a trip to Pensacola, FL over Labor Day Weekend.
Well, I must go to bed. I have only about 20 pages left in my current book and I can't go to sleep until I'm done! I have another waiting in the wings.
Have a great week y'all!

i know when i first considered going to college 20 years ago the Baptist college in town still restricted ladies from wearing pants to class. I think those rules have since eased up, but I always used to think "who would go to a school like that!". Then I up and joined the Air Force - rofl - I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience for him, and I'm glad to see that some young people are chosing the tougher road. -Kelly

Glad you found the problem before it found you. It stinks to have your vehicle in the shop. I know, I had trouble with mine two weeks ago. It took over a week to get it back. All that time, and it was an $11 part that had to be replaced!! I know I was lucky with that price though.
Have a good week!
