Three for three

Three posts in three days, that would be a record for me. The long weekend has been and just about gone. Next week our new computer program starts at work, so it will be an interesting week for sure. I've been hoping it's akin to Y2K. Remember everyone thought the world was going to stop when the year 2000 rocked around. I'm hoping this is the same. We're thinking the worst, so hopefully it will all go smoothly tomorrow and beyond.

I got a rather nice surprise today when I saw Gallery Standouts and one of my pages was on it. I'm putting together as many pages of my stepson as possible so he'll be getting a book for his 21st birthday next January.

Credits here.

Do you remember your first car? Mine was nothing like this lovely car. Mine was a Datsun 1200, the most horrid shade of green, it was like a tank on wheels. It cost me all of $600 and I bought it from someone who lived up the road. I drove it for three years when it got to the stage it was leaking, brakes weren't working properly, my passenger front seat car broke so to keep it upright I had to stick an esky behind it (so unless someone was really REALLY short, no one could sit in my left back seat).

I limped it into a car yard one day and traded it in on my second car. The card yard man started it up (crossed fingers and it started first go, it hadn't done that in a while!) and he walked around it, kicked the tyres and rubbed his chin ready for the hard sell. He said "I can't give you more than $500 for it". My very quick "I'LL TAKE IT!" had him looking at me in surprise.

Over and out.
