Blessed Event

I am entering my "expected delivery window" tomorrow. They told me between the 10th & 15th. The more I wait, the more this reminds me of having a baby. Thankfully, I have not waited 9 months and I have not gained a bunch of weight in sympathy with my wife like I did last time.

I am constantly perusing John's User Guide though, just like I wore out my copy of Dr. Spock's famed baby manual during the long wait 20 years ago (today actually). My daughter came about 9 days late so I sure hope that does not repeat itself with the car.

When I get "The Call", I will be just as ready. I have my primary and secondary routes planned from home and office to the Credit Union branch where delivery is planned. My co-workers are on stand-by to cover at a moment's notice. The only problem is that if I get stopped by a cop on the way, I won't have a bulging, huffing and puffing woman with me and I doubt he'd cut me a break if I told him what I was really up to. Oh well, I'll take my chances.

 

IT'S A BOY!!!!!! (Seaside Pearl) Just got the call...gotta go!!

 

Well, here are the pix. My daughter is already jealous. I've had a ball with it today. Just got back from a 52 mi round trip and got 47.6 mpg and I don't even know what I'm doing yet!

 

I love the white...I've seen a few on the road, but the last SEVEN cars we have had have been either black or white and I was just ready for some color The only down side to my blue is it does not match my Appalachian State University motif I had going with my black Tacoma. On football weekends I would dress that baby up in my black & gold magnets & flags and head up that mountain to watch some magic happen. White, black or even driftwood would have matched, but like I said, I needed a change. The up side is that now those trips will cost me half as much to get there!
