Good Morning!
  • Today's Question(s):

    Lets talk about cars/vehicles

    How many vehicles reside at your home ?
    6 . 1 being restored, 2 Harleys, and old "beater" pickup, our car and Hubby's work truck (owned by them).

    What color is the vehicle you drive most ? silver

    What are some of the reasons you chose the vehicle(s) that reside at your home ?
  • Restored: my first car.
  • 2 Harleys = hers & his. As the saying goes, "If I have to expain, you wouldn't understand."
  • Car was a quick decision, not anything special but gets pretty good gas mileage.
  • And the work truck is a perk.

    Inquiring Minds Question:


    Will you be cooking this Holiday Weekend or will you be going to friends or family to celebrate ? Our son's birthday is on Sunday so we will be with famly and friends. What is on the agenda has yet to be determined.

    Bonus Question:
    It is Post It Notes Day !!!

    Do you have Post it notes in your home ?
    Yes

    Who in your home uses them the most ? Me

    It's been months.
    What is your favorite old fashion TV Dinner ? Salsbury (sp?) Steak

    Did you ever eat the little brownie first ? Weill, yeah.


    Just for Fun:

    Fess up Have you ever eaten a Twinkie ?
    Yes. I had one not too long ago. Before that it had been many, many years.



    Today in History:

    1956 - Capitol Tower, the home of Capitol Records in Hollywood, CA, was dedicated. The building was the first circular office tower designed in America. It is 13 stories tall and 92 feet in diameter. At night, a light at the tip of the tower blinks the letters "H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D" in Morse Code. Cool!

Today's Question(s):

Lets talk about cars/vehicles

How many vehicles reside at your home ?

A few

What color is the vehicle you drive most ?

Dark grey.

What are some of the reasons you chose the vehicle(s) that reside at your home ?
The Jeep was not a planned purchase. It just sorta happened. I was killing some time and decided to stop by the Jeep dealer and test drive a Wrangler. After driving it I no longer wanted a Wrangler. I also looked at the Liberty but was not interested in it. The salesman sensed he was not going to make a sale and planned his exit strategy so that he could find a customer more likely to buy a vehicle. As I was heading towards the door to leave another salesman asked me if I wanted to test drive a Grand Cherokee. 20 minutes later I was signing the dotted line.

Inquiring Minds Question:


Will you be cooking this Holiday Weekend or will you be going to friends or family to celebrate ?
No special plans for this weekend. Have to work, so it will probably something quick and easy.

Bonus Question:

It is Post It Notes Day !!!

Do you have Post it notes in your home ?
Why yes I do. They are posted all over the house.


Are they the plain yellow ones or the pastel colors ?
Both.

Who in your home uses them the most ?
That would have to be me. The security moose does not have thumbs which makes it very hard for him to grab the post it notes. Fred has been missing in action as of late.

Extra Credit Question:

and TV Dinner Day

When was the last time you had a OLD FASHION TV Dinner ?

Are we talking the ones that had to be heated in the oven versus the new ones that can be microwaved? It as been at least 35 years since I heated a TV dinner in the oven. Probably has been most of a year since I nuked one.

What is your favorite old fashion TV Dinner ?

No favorites

Did you ever eat the little brownie first ?
Always.

Just for Fun:

Fess up Have you ever eaten a Twinkie ?

I have eaten a Twinkie or two in my time. Has been a long time as they just are not good enough to pay almost 2 bucks for.

Technically there are 4 vehicles here but I own and drive one. I have housemates but I do not see them often. I live alone in the lower level of a large townhouse

I have a red 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 S. I rented a Altima back is 2006 and I was very impressed on how the car handled when I had to swerve to avoid debris on a highway. I bought one shortly thereafter and upgraded it in 2009 because I wanted the CVT transmission. Also, I'm a fairly big guy and those cars are very comfortable and roomy.
I've had no problems with either Altima. They are great cars and fun to drive.


Inquiring Minds Question:

Will you be cooking this Holiday Weekend or will you be going to friends or family to celebrate ?

I don't do religion or religious holiday's.

The last time I had an "Old fashion TV dinner" was over 30 years ago. I do not remember if it came with a brownie.

I like Amy's frozen dinners but I do not have them often, maybe once a month. My favorite is Indian Mattar Paneer which is curried peas, cheese, rice and chana masala.
