Are we cheering the the pole's departure? That just seems harsh.

I might throw in some pics of my garage for that. Little chance of winning, true, but still...

In any case, a Transporter is a step in the right direction. At the very least, it's a Volkswagen. But a question needs to be asked: why a van?
Cheaper then hiring a moving company.

I think we need another car thread. Been working on converting a 2000 Chevy Silverado to a six speed manual with a twin turbo kit thrown in for laughs. It's not mine but perhaps the Integra will get some coverage as well from my end. There's a part of me that wants to buy a block and build that sucker into a turbocharged monster of a car. Stock on the outside, but beastly as can be under the hood! A true sleeper....

Glad you found your keys, Essie Mae. Losing them is one of the more frustrating of life's little annoyances.

Hope you get/got out today Velma and that you have/had a nice lunch.

We need expensive exams and licences for pretty much everything. Good and well, I say. Wouldn't want just anybody operating a motorized vehicle or doing your taxes.

You need a boating license or equivalent called the Boater Education Card or something along those lines in the majority of states in the US, as well.

For anything larger then 8 meters or with more then 25hp you need a recreational vehicle licence. With this licence you can have as many horsepower as you damn well please and up to 15 meters of boat.

On the way home from the hospital yesterday, we did stop for a nice lunch. We had thought about going out again later, but my knee started hurting. The cats were all glad to see me. :)

This whole thing has been a special journey for all of you--Hasn't it? Thank you for sharing it with all of us. I'm glad to hear you're home, where you should be.  :love:

You are welcome.

Today we went to a couple of bookstores. For the first one, I managed with my cane. For the second, I had to use my walker.  Once we got home, I had to ice my knee. Later today, I will have to work on my at home physical therapy exercises.

I went to Pheonix Comicon this last weekend. It was pretty fun.
