Hello everyone and welcome to the Lair !!! On October 8 2007 I said goodbye to an old friend. My 2000 Chevy S10 and I parted ways after 7 long and some times tough years. This was not an easy decision to make. You see it was on this date a year ago I said goodbye to my first pet Demon,after 10 years." I LOVE YOU DEMON !!! "" Till we meet again " Sorry,.. it had to be done !!!... Anyway keeping that in mind it took some toughness of my own to do what had to be done. Over the past few years "the chevy ", as I loved to call her,had been having some health issues. Nothing major,but little things here and there. Not that I didn't add to it by smashing into a few things that jumped out at me. Oops !?!?! But none the less things were starting to happen. I especially noticed the auto pilot feature was not as keen as she once was. This too loomed in my thoughts @*@* Though we had many great times, like driving to Wildwood in the snow for new years !!! That was fun !!! Or on St. patty's day with Jack, by the Tavern,where there was no parking. The only reason we got a spot was because "the chevy " was a pickup and I fit her beautiful back end underneath a trailer that was parked on 30th street. Smooooth __.
I have to admit I drove her like she was many things. A sports car on the highway,a tank in the snow,and a speed boat in the rain... She was all in one. She was a tough chevy/because of which I never got hurt bad in any of those smashings I was involved in. Again she was it all !!! All that miledge was adding up though ,,, and things were starting to get worse for my poor chevy sweetheart ; ( ... As I pulled into the dealership,her back right blinker blew, "ouch" ,followed by the left,"double ouch " . I realized this could be the time ......
Please be mindful of the things dearest to you as you leave the Lair today !!! Several of the writers and readers in our close blog family have family members going through some things right now. Please keep them in your prayers as I keep them in mine... Thanks... From the heart !!!
