Bad Truck... Bad Bad Truck!!!

So Mister new Red Truck decided not to start this morning!! Derek called his service buddy at Speedway in Monroe and Johnny said to crawl under the truck and tap on the starter, which worked.. fired right up then. Damn truck... dropped it off at Speedway, they'll check the starter and find out what is going on. Hopefully it is not the starter, that is a $463 part! Maybe for once something will be an easy cheap fix.... yeah right!

Bob & Nouna (Derek's parents) are staying with us now.. We picked them up last night, Mr Red truck drove just fine for that! They'll be with us until Monday morning when Derek drives them to the airport. We normally set the heat at 62, but to accomodate them, we've increased it to 72, which might not be enough, we'll see how they do at that temperature.. It is supposed to be rainy, crappy, windy for the next 7 days, just plain yucky weather. Derek went out this morning to Fred Meyers to buy a coffee maker and some coffee. We've wanted to have one at the house for company, just didnt get a chance before now. We both LOVE the smell of brewing coffee, but dont like the taste, atleast our company will have something warm to wake them up in the mornings! :)

Oh and Miss Scout, she is still causin' business when we are away! Last night in the 1.5 hours we were away, she brought another tiger animal out of the back bedroom but did not chew it, we accidentally left the bedroom door open and she brought out some garbage from the master bathroom, mostly just some TP that we probably used to blow our nose with, chewed up a pair of undies from that overgrown pile of dirty clothes.. oh and she jumped up on our stool at the counter and got herself into the candy dish! She didnt really eat any, just dumped some out of the bowl, just cuz she could do it. Scratched up one of my stool seats, not real pleased about that since they are leather topped, I cant fix them if she pokes holes in them with her nails or scratches them.. We did not get mad at her, just silly stuff mostly. :)
