Today, I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. I was off today, and that was alright. I went to the VA Clinic over on Loop 820. My Doctors have been telling me they need to see my vitals. So, I obliged, and used my day off at the VA. But it didn’t take as long as I might have expected. They got me in, and got me out. Neat. President elect-Trump is not even in office, yet things are already running smoothly. I guess this time- the Government realizes that Trump is the people’s choice.
After I got done with my blood draw was when it happened. I had a clear view in front of me, and nobody was in the parking spot in front. So, I thought- why not? So, I pulled forward- and went over the cement stopper in front of me. I didn’t see it, obviously. So, I checked for damage, and didn’t see any. Then, I backed up, over the cement stopper. I guess I just was lucky, because nothing was still broken. But on the way back to the house, I could hear something skidding/bouncing along underneath. I thought it might be the tire. So, I took it to Discount Tire and had them look at it.
Silly me, it was the plastic cover that was dragging, it turned out. But no internal damage- God was watching over me. So, I thanked the Discount Tire employee, and went on my way. I ate at Colter’s BBQ, and got the sandwich platter. I sat next to an attorney who was talking to his client, it seemed. So, I ate, but I could hear them talking. It appeared that the attorney had injured his arm somehow, as he was wearing a brace.
After eating, I went home and waited for my Dad to get home. I just laid there on the couch and rested for a while. My Dad came in, and I explained what happened. So, my Dad said he would be out, and went to the bathroom. I went outside, and smoked while I waited for Dad to inspect the damage (it is still in his name). After a few minutes, Dad started messing around in the garage, and he pulled out these two stanchions that you can drive the car up on.
I drove up, and over the stanchions, which I expected would happen. I just do not do well, when it comes to cars. But my Dad is an expert. He went and bought a jack, a nice solid one. It took a minute to get it working, but one by one we were able to remove each of the stanchions, and this time my Dad drove the car onto them. Dad ended up using zip ties to temporarily hold the plastic part, and keep it from dragging. To be continued. But Dad noticed that the front bumper had come lose as well.
So, Dad wanted to take the car to Jalisco Auto and Body Paint. He knows the man who owns it, and Dad wanted him to inspect the car and see if he could tighten up the bumper. So, we drove out to Kenedale.
The man looked at the bumper, and began taking things a part. My Dad tried helping. Then, after a while he figured out a way to tighten up the bumper, at least temporarily. So, now I can drive around and I don’t have a huge piece of plastic dragging, and the bumper isn’t going to fall off suddenly. Also, the man didn’t charge us anything for his time. Which is why I included his information here.
Trump Hat
That is right, I now have an official Trump hat!!! It is golden.
I stopped by Mom’s house and had some salmon. Joey made the salmon. It was delicious. I meant to bring this hat with me. I didn’t, so I just showed her this picture, while we were eating, and watching The Five on Fox News. Then, I drove home and accepted my admissions to University of Texas at Arlington. But I regret that I was unable to get advising done, today so I could start signing up for classes.
Well, that is all for now. Basically I got very little done today, and it was my own fault. Oh, well, maybe I will be off tomorrow as well. I will get advising done if so. I ate salmon with Mom, and it turned out to be delicious. Other than that, not much happened today. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog!!!
