I DID IT!!

It's Thursday, should be a quiet day and nothing going on at work, so I took the truck. I was so nervous, it's my first time alone with it. Jim gave me some tips on how to handle the diesel, starting it up, wait a few seconds and drive slowly at first. I did really well driving to work, white knuckled and watching the mirrors. I always have to go to the post office on the way to work and that was no problem, it's pull through parking. When I got to work I was there only a few minutes when I needed to go to the copy place and I knew it was going to be a small parking lot. I was going to take my bosses car but it didn't have brakes and she was afraid of driving it home tonight. I went ahead and went to the place. I parked it ok, crooked but I was in the slot. When I left I used the mirrors and very carefully backed it up. Got it! Ms boss called me and said to make another stop on the way back. That wasn't so easy. I got in there parking area ok, but had trouble backing it back around to head out. I did ok, didn't hit anything. I know those with big trucks are laughing. That's ok, I'll learn it. It feels so smooth and the looks I get when I get out is hilarious. One of the chatters says the same thing when she's driving the truck with the 5er behind it. I made it home safely then the rest of the afternoon I took pictures of the stuff to sell and put it on Craigslist.

Here's 4 of my favorite Indian relics.





Just another collection that will be sold.








































I watched some TV shows that were taped then got dinner and on chat. It's almost the weekend. We're both are so excited about Saturday's day trip to the dealer in Statesville. If this is really the one, we'll have to shoot for the moon to get it pay for, but it will happen.
