THE LITTLE BLUE STREAK

REMEMBER our little blue streak......streak as in clown car (dad says, but he forgets what takes him to ALL those doc appt.)  anyways it was chugging along instead of driving along and had to go to the dealership BEFORE its warranty ran out.  WHEW it just made it...........well it turns out it had a broken air duct something or another, and would have to spend 5 days awaiting the part............

That's when it was first born.

Mom was expecting this when they said they would leave her a loaner car
but instead she got this:
Yep a BRAND new JEEP Cherokee........well it had 2,000 miles on it so MoM felt it was her duty to add another thousand or so on it AND we were having a big snow like 3-6 inches or so.......hehehehhe.........it was a sweet ride.  Dad wanted to keep it but it costed as much as a new house does and Mom said we can't even afford a new camping tent, so it went back on Monday night, and little blue came back to us.  Hopefully for many more miles.

On the home front....this is still here.

Doesn't she look a little more meaner to you?

PS  Dads back doc gave him permission to go back to work....WTH....he has as a five lb. limit, and of course one arm that is useless so when he called his work place which is a foundry, they were shocked and basically said they had no work he could do so they were going to call Workman's comp. to see what is going on..........since Dad has his arm surgery in a few weeks, we wonder if they will just wait until he is healed from that.......who knows............Dad goes back one more time to see the back doc in the middle of May that day they will tell him what his loss # is when it comes to his back, ............................thank you for all your good wishes yesterday.

  1. doctors are just so stupid sometimes - what ever happened to common sense? We hope your little blue bug keeps driving along but we agree - the jeep was a pretty nice ride.

  2. That loaner car looks super fun! Is your Dad's doctor doing drugs??? That's just insane to send him back right before surgery. Sending prayers for worker's comp to kick in. *ear licks*

  4. That is a sweet looking ride! YAY! When I read that about your dad, I actually said WTF. How can he work? It isn't a desk job that broke him like that. Sigh, the world is ridiculous sometimes!

  5. Our mom would probably choose the blue streak over the Jeep anyway!
    All the best to your dad. We hope everything gets straightened out and his healing continues to go well.
    Cammie!

  8. OMD...we really wonder about doctors sometimes..

    At least your Mama got a cool loaner car to drive around for a few days while your blue streak was at the car doctor!!

  9. You are lucky with that loaner car. When our mom needed a loaner she got a piece of junk and couldn't wait to bring it back.

    We hope your dad's doctors can get their crap together. Don't they take into account what kind of work he does before saying he can go back?

  17. Mom used to have Jeep Cherokees too and she liked them a lot. But we think Blue Streak is pretty nice looking too. We hope Dad's work can figure out something with that Workman's Comp thing - he SO should not be back to work.

  18. That was an extra special loaner! Did you send it back with Dog hair in it?

  19. First of all, Mom knows all about those nice cars and how nice it would be to have one, her sis-in-law has one and she says they are nice. We will stick with OUR little blue car too :) Mom has a lot to say about your Dad's back doctor and we are sure there were some insulting words about his intelligence MOL! Now that beautiful panfur girl that has moved into your house....she HAS gotten more beautiful for sure *sigh*

  20. I bet little blue gets better gas mileage than the jeep, even if it is nice. Kitty is mean if she wrecked that screen behind her! She still doesn't look as mean as Dietzman. :)

  22. Your loaner car is cute Mom had a Jeep Cherokee but when gas when up to about 4$ she traded it in for a little VW Jetta (and the used bat truck for the bad roads and winters). We hope your Dad is back healed and working at something he loves soon.

  24. I was thinking,,, they would find something for your dad to do,, that does not take a lot of effort... something..
    and getting back out into the world would help him feel better,,, and not be bored,, and give him stuff to think about,,, then they can work around the surgery.. well its a suggestion anyways...,
    Oh that blue streak is snazzy looking
    love
