Good morning!

May hear back from the realtor today, and if I don't, I'm calling. Scary stuff, that.

Today marks three weeks from Epiphany - and from MY Epiphany. Pretty amazing how much has happened in the short time since, when you really think about it!

Tam is driving me crazy because he wants to play fetch every waking hour of every day. When the dogs were here, he couldn't bring out the little pompom balls he uses because the dogs would shred them instantly, but now...he's found he can get away with it. I threw it over and over last night while reading before bed, and finally turned out the light. This morning, the second I rolled out of bed, he was sitting next to it with his ball at his feet staring at me with a maniacal look in his eyes. The cat ain't right. But maybe once the novelty wears off again he'll get bored...

Mmmm...omelet with lotsa hot sauce.

Good morning Rosie, all!

Good luck with the realtor!

I keep going out to the shop and looking at the Beetle. Several times a day I just go out there and hang out looking at it, trying to figure where to begin. Here's what I think...

On the Beetle forum, they talk about things they've found in their Beetles...anything from money, pot and so on. Many of them that got their cars from fields like me have found Black Widows in there!! And my car is really bad inside...grass has grown up into it and the carpet is rotted.

So my priority is cleaning out the car! However, I don't want to clean it out inside the shop...I'd just soon roll it out into the shop driveway and do it out there. I want to take the seats out and discard all the old upholstery and then really clean the interior. The horsehair padding is just falling all apart. Also take out all the old carpet and rubber matting.

Problem. The brakes are almost froze up...very sluggish. So we can't roll it in and out of the shop. I got some tips from the Beetle forum on how to loosen them up, so I imagine we'll be working on that this weekend.

Got the title yesterday! We're bona fide, now!
