leaky business that was not at all risky...

yeah....do these things really need to cost $400.00? seriously, i almost fainted in the parking lot...but when you gotta leak, you gotta fix it...

which made me ponder, when we get leaky in life, do we spend the total amount of whatever it is we pay to get the leak fixed right, or even replaced? or do we walk around damaged and in some serious need of fixin?...i would venture to say there are a lot of leaky people out there that have been going for miles and miles without taking a look under the hood...

so, i looked under the proverbial hood this week...too bad i had to have the not so proverbial look to make me think on this...get a check up, okay?

on a side note, i made pappan and mere stand in a circle around my bumper yesterday when i picked up the jeep...i felt very ceremonial about being able to get the jeep fixed and it costing exactly what was in the bank account...so in honor of deliverance, we placed "the dude abides" bumpersticker on the back...of course it was crooked...pappan said it's more dude that way...seriously, it was a moving ceremony...pappan smoking, meredith giggling, and me cussing that it went on crooked...one day this will be funny to me...i'll mark the calendar....
