Yeah! Got my car back. Sure is nice to be back in a 5 speed 'stang and out of the automatic chevy p.o.s. She is not perfect (found a few minor glitches) but she's all mine. I pick up a check tomorrow to pay her off all the way, then she's really all mine!
So the ENT told me I need surgery on my broken nose. Canny breathe well when its all busted up. So my goal is to fix it before Italy.
I am doing an ENT rotation this month. Its pretty wild. We put tubes in kids ears and take out tonsils and adenoids. He also sees adults. One guy was about 55 and wanted his ears to be less "flappy". (you know, the old 'taxi with both doors open' look) Usually its done before kindergarden, but he wanted it, so we cut off part of the ear and made it less "flappy". Actually He did it, I just stood and watched.
I have a major issue right now. I have made a commitment to this practice and suddenly I have a huge desire to move back to CA. I don't know what to do. I haven't signed any contract yet, but I can't just bail on them. Hmmm...
Oh yeah, Dad may be happy that I am gonna have this ENT check out my nose. He may do a little correction to the lacrosse damage that was done. We'll see...
Went to look at it today...
No bumper, 2 windows missing. She sure looked bad, but a paint job and a few more parts and she's mine again in a few days!
Got a check to pay for it, tho' so it aint all bad
I'm glad I can finally access this page!
So I'm driving home Sat night just south of the casinos and pull up behind some cars at a stop light. As we start rolling forward, I see a pair of headlights in my mirror coming up on me fast. In an instant I knew it was not gonna stop. I tried to tell the other person in the car that we were about to be hit, and to hold on, but it just came out as "Uhhhhhahhhhh", then "BAM"
My car limped to the side of the road, and the big-ass truck pulled beside me. The guy stumbled out and began asking me why I was stopped. He stunk of alcohol. When he said that we should just call it even and drive off and I said no, he went crazy. He got in my face and was yelling "Am I the asshole here? Am I the asshole here?" So I tried to reason with a moron as the passengers exchanged our insurance info. His friend actually said "how 'bout I just call you tomorrow with that info". Uhhh..... I don't think so. So my car would not start and the cops were nowhere in site after 30 min. As I got into the car to call a tow truck, the guy jumps into his truck and races off. So now its DUI, reckless driving, hit-and-run, and failure to give aid.
What an ass.
My poor baby is now in the shop. I hope she can be fixed.
Oh yeah, turns out that in Fords, if you get rear-ended, the fuel line automatically shuts off. Don't want any more "Pinto" episodes, I guess...
