chump change

i had my weekly talk with tonya today...you know, my new gal pal at the dealership. my new bbf informed me that parts finally started getting ordered last friday and what a shock, it wasn't enough. so again, more parts were brought in this past week and work has finally begun! can you believe it? i know, complete shock.

just for shits and giggles, i asked tonya if she could just give me a ballpark figure on what the estimate thus far was. not including labor and the likely hood of still needing more parts, my beastly beauty has consumed right under $1900 worth of new gear. seriously, she best glide down the streets like no body's business when i get her back.

it has been nice having my bi-weekly conversations with tonya. we've gotten quite close in our phone relationship and have a bit of a common thread with critters, if you will. while i'm busy trying to beat off squirrels (ew, sickos! not like that, pull your head outta the gutter, gross!), tonya has mountain lion problems. apparently, the little darlings were doing their grocery shopping in her backyard with her farm animals and made off with 3 goat dinners. mmmh, that sounds delicious, i'll have that...thanks, but it turns out i'm not hungry after all.

stay tuned for next week...i just might have my kitten purring down your street soon!
