So back in high school, I used to help out a lot in the library. Mostly on the computers of course. I knew nothing about the books. I’d peruse through them though. Well, the librarians decided to honor me that year with a $15.00 gift certificate to Books-A-Million and a plaque. This was 1999. I still have the gift certificate. It’s turning yellow (as the Asian clerk at Books-A-Million put it). I went there tonight to buy a Harper Collins Study Bible (with the recommendation from the pastor of the church I visit regularly, The Lakeland Fellowship). I asked if the gift certificate was still good. After about 10 minutes of waiting for the manager to get back after talking on the phone with whoever, he said to come back between 9 and 6, and corporate can find a way to transfer it to a gift card. Which will be kind of a waste, cause it will be thrown out moments later.
On another note, I officially have a second vehicle. I have gotten the Cavalier that I bought a little while back to a point where it’s safe on the road, and is legal to be there. I still have a lot to do such as:
- Fix a new leak around the radiator hose
- Fix the dash board
- Wash and wax the outside
- Change the oil
- Fix the passenger window crank
- Reinstall the rearview mirror
It is otherwise running well. I put the 93 octane gas in to clean the engine up a bit. It still needs a bit more tuning, but I think it’ll go another 50,000 miles easy. I will have to get used to not having a new car again. Such as, a non-responsive start up (my truck, I just turn the key and let go, and it starts on it’s own), turning off headlights manually, cranking a window down, you know, the little luxuries of a new vehicle (ohhh, that sooo bothers Amber for me to use that word instead of “car”).
shame on you,Jason.I still remember you telling me that a Ford Taurus’ is junk and so is a Chevy Cavalier.
