Lin brought home his company truck today. We spent 30 minutes this evening sitting in the driveway, watching the sun set, and playing with all the buttons. It has heated seats. Those have to be the most wonderful thing on the planet. But wait … it has a 6 CD changer too … AND … your current compass direction and the exterior temperature are right there on the rear-view mirror! Do you know what happens when you press the OnStar button? Do you?! A very pleasant woman says “OnStar. How can I help you?” The radio tells you what song is playing, and there are temperature controls for both sides of the truck. The seats (real leather — oh my god) have adjustable full lumbar supports. Did I mention they are heated?! Heated seats are just too cool. :dizzy:
It’s a 2004 diesel V-8 Chevy Silverado (2500, I think) full crew-cab truck. Fully, freaking loaded too. Lin doesn’t even know what all the buttons do yet. Hell, he didn’t even know it had a 6 CD changer until I read it in the manual … the three inch thick manual. :lol:
Anyway, it’s a very nice truck. It’s got so much cool stuff in it, I can’t even begin to tell you all about it. It’s so nice, in fact, our house is embarrassed. And I thought Lin’s F-150 was huge? Nope. Sitting next to this behemoth, it looks like a baby truck. If we ever see sunlight again, I’ll take a photo of the monster truck in Lin’s life. Wow. Really. He’s the man.
Other than that bit of excitement (and relief, because I didn’t have to help him get it home by driving his truck on the freeway), not much else happened today. It was just too gloomy a day to get motivated to do anything. In fact, I don’t even know what I did with my day. I can see that I must have robot-like cleaned the house (the dishes were done), and I know I played around with the kitties more than usual, but that still leaves a lot of hours in the day when I must have been doing something. I swear, sometimes I get so into my head, thinking about something, and at the end of the day a lot of thinking has gone on, but I have nothing to show for it. I seem to sit, think, and then forget what I was thinking about. For hours. I’ve probably cured cancer ten times and don’t remember doing so.
But … I am relaxed and in a good mood, so I am declaring today a good day. :)
