Grass, new car and smack!

First, I finally got my grass in on Saturday, about 700 sq. ft. It isnt that much, but its our patch. My friend John helped my lay mine and right after we laid down his, about 800 sq.ft. And all I have to say is that 2 days later I cringe in pain as I walk, bend, twist....well any movement of my lower half. It was all the squating down and moving stuff around, cutting....bending over 200 times today getting little boxes off shelves at work was just a joy. The grass looks great and all the seems should fill in over the next few weeks. Next on the project is trees and bushes and then gravel.

Second, we bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee last week. It is nice. Leather and all that mess, and the A/C is super cold. It will be my work vehicle eventually, but since they arent paying me a vehicle allotment yet, Jenny will drive it and I will drive the distance in the better gas mileage car.

Lastly, on the way to work this morning at 4:55am a truck in front of me ran over a piece of semi tire re-tread and it met my front end of the car. SMACK! It was long black and heavy. My first thought was it was a body in a body bag. Hey, it happens in the movies. Right after it fell off, plastic pieces from my car started to blow away as well. I was so mad. Re-treads should be outlawed! Recycle the whole tire and start over, dont just slap on a new tread with glue. So I lost the entire center grill and the plastic shroud around the right fog light. I am sure it will cost just under our deductible of $500 and not worth raising our premiums. I consider hitting that as meaningless as a random act of violence.
