It’s Alive!

After almost a month I picked up my Jeep from the mechanic shop.

I rushed to it like two wayward lovers on a beach.  I wrapped my arms around it’s steering wheel.  We were reunited after all this time.  It was time to clean out the inside.  I first unloaded everything from the inside.  It looked like a scene from the first Aliens.  Blood and guts were replaced by Wheat thins and bottles, jackets, and one sock.  I took it to the car wash for a deep vacuum.  The change that was being sucked up reminded me of a trip to Canada with my kids when they were younger.  I could just hear my wallet being emptied back then. Frozen yogurt, candy, and gifts for friends and family needed to be bought.  This was a great time for us. After vacuuming up what I’m sure was equivalent to my son’s first years tuition in college I headed to repack my long lost friend.  First the dual battery need to be reinstalled.  Not that a hurricane was forecasted for the pacific northwest.  But one needs to make sure they are always prepared.  I learned this in boy scouts selling cookies.  Wait, that’s the girl scouts.  Well, anyway those are damn good cookies.  

Anyway I digress.  Let’s strive forward with determination of Chamberlain on his way towards Gettysburg.
