BLOG DUMP
I'm still in full "Anne Frank Mode" as far as internet access goes, but I thought I'd try to throw together some bits 'n' pieces just because I have this brief window of opportunity.
If I ever write a book about Alfred Hitchcock, I will use the pen name of Craig McGuffin. That is, if I can be sure McDonalds won't sue.
The brakes on our van started chirping just before Thanksgiving. I took it in to a Midas Muffler center to have them look into it.
Their diagnosis?
Warped rotor and, oh, yeah the rear cylinders are leaking. It's gonna be about $775 to fix it all.
Whoah, whoah, whoah! I just put in all new brake lines & cylinders a couple years ago. I decided to have them do nothing and take it over to our usual garage. His diagnosis?
There's nothing wrong with these brakes! The rotors look brand-new. We could use some new rear shocks, though. $169 later, we're back on tha street, kickin' it Grand Caravan style.
We have house guests this week. Michelle's Mom, Dad and sister are visiting. A fun group.
Michelle's Dad likes to troll the dollar stores for cheap videos. I took him to a nearby "Dollar General" after dinner a couple nights back. We pawed through the DVDs and I was able to score the SCTV Volume Three box set for $10! SWEET! I paid beaucoup bucks for volumes one and two back in late 2005, so this was very cool.
Oops. Blogging period is over. Gotta go. Don't tell anyone I was here...

Wow, Midas sucks!
LoL come back soon y'hear...
as for the first garage...scum.
SCTV Rocks! Dishonest mechanics suck!
Glad you didn't get the Midas touch. What bums they are!
Craig? No, I haven't seen Craig. Not here.
Typical Midas. Losers. Way to go get a second opinion.
I hate when those guys try to take you for all its worth.
Hope you are doing well, I was missing all my blogging buddies and thought I would send some holiday cheer your way.
We call blogging "research' at work.
Craig McGuffin! Excellent.
SCTV! Also Great!
Midas? They suck!
Craig McGuffin is a great pen name! You should use it even if you don't write a book about Hitchcock.
Believe it or not, I've never seen SCTV. Maybe I should head on down to the dollar store....
My mechanic is my father-in-law and he usually foots the bill to writee of on taxes or something...need I say more?
"kickin' it Grand Caravan style."
