At the Car Wash

Today it was finally warm enough to take the Tahoe through the car wash without worrying about anything freezing shut.

The purple and green wax is my favourite part.

It's so pretty. :)

I'm sure my husband would describe me as endearing.

Positively.

Sometimes maybe as a bonehead.

But always endearing.

Anyway I'm his bonehead and he loves me.

Today I sent him this picture. It's the dash of the Tahoe. See the little light that looks like a trailer on the top right? Well I somehow got it into towing mode and didn't know how I did it. So I took a picture (while stopped) saying, to paraphrase, what do I do to make it normal again? LOL

Help me! LOL

His reply? "Button on end of gear shifter."

What do you know ... there's even a picture in the exact shape as the light on the gear shifter.

That was easy.  

Get Hitched!

On December 28th we were rear ended in our Chevy Tahoe by a compact car (Acura). Our truck didn't sustain any damage, but the front of the Acura was pretty messed up. He was probably going 25-30km/h when he hit us. I'm thankful no one was hurt, but I'm also thankful my precious Eleanor (the truck) was a-okay. I'm also thankful I drive a truck because something smaller would have had substantial damage.

There was one part that was wrecked. The hitch cover. Lucky for the guy in the Acura the day before we had removed the bar/ball from the hitch and replaced it with the cover. Otherwise he wouldn't just have had body damage, he would have had rad and engine damage as well.

The old.

The old hitch cover -- at least the sticker bit -- was actually stuck in the front end of the Acura. My husband bought this one because he figured it suited me.

Well, we couldn't go without a new hitch cover for very long. I had a couple picked out on CafePress (and still may buy one of them) but we happened upon this one at Canadian Tire yesterday and figured it was perfect given our rivalry with my sister and her husband and their Dodge loving family. We're Chevy people -- of course we are because we would never choose an inferior product.

As far as I can tell we're one up on those stinky Dodge owners now.
