Well it was a strange week. First off I went to Amy's play Sunday, I enjoyed it a lot. Then Monday night my car was robbed, right in my driveway overnight. They stole two CD players, a few CDs, my medication out of the glove box, stuff like that. Was I ever ripping. As soon as I realized it the next day I went straight to the police station. Not like it'll make much of a difference, but hey, that's what the system is there for. So let's see, Tuesday night, went to ball hockey, scored a garbage goal but hey, a goal is a goal. Wednesday night, was on my way to trivia and stopped at the bank to make sure i had enough money for my car insurance payment the next day, and i was 60 dollars short. I had a $30 cheque from the Cadre, and 15 in my wallet, but it wasn't enough, so i had to borrow a bit of money. Just barely made it.

 

Thursday, was going to meet Amy, but turned out she couldn't make it so I relaxed for a couple hours before work. Didn't do much of anything Thurs night, i was pretty tired. Friday night, out to Sarah's cottage in South Rustico for Ryan's birthday. I took James with me and i mapped the route, really had no idea where I was going. I did a whole loop around Cymbria (Syria) and a 20-minute drive took over an hour. But we got there and it was a blast, Jamie nearly had a concussion after Donnie nailed her in the head playing charades. We were pretty worried for awhile. James, Laurette and i ended up staying the night at her place, it was a fun night.

 

Saturday morning, car wouldn't start, so i got a boost from Jamie. Went home to sleep for a couple hours before work (didn't go to bed till 5:30 or so), then when I went to go to work, she wouldn't start again. I did a little "recce" and determined that the battery was completely shot. So, i had to call into work and tell them i couldn't make it, since there was no one around to boost me or give me a ride. Later on i trekked over to Crappy Tire and got a new battery, 94 bucks, not too bad.

 

Then today I test-drove another Neon, same year (97), but with only 67 000 clicks on it! 67!!! And he only wants $2000. This is an opportunity I will very likely never have dropped in my lap again. So I gave her a good inspection, took her for a spin, and everything seems to be in tip-top shape. 4 brand new tires, new brakes, and a great ride. Needs no body work at all either. And once the Hustler dies, i can use it for parts on the new (red) version. Maybe I'll continue the legacy and call it the Lady in Red. We'll see.
