From Hot Dogs to Hot Rods.....life with the Boss.

I need to Begin this Post by Stating that the only people who aren't going to

Think we have finally Lost our Minds is

John and Ellen Tiene....

Friends and Fellow Blogger from the

Great State of Jersey....

You see her John is as Nutty as my John.....

Where Car's are concerned that is.....

Ellen's John doesn't have a garage....He actually has a

Warehouse to "house" his car's....

So with that Said....

 Let me start Here.....Last Wednesday....
For those of you who missed the Hormone Drama
On Facebook...

I had to run up to Walgreen's  to
pick up my Prempro which I have taken for
Oh....about 12 years....Yes ladies...You can indeed
Have Hot Flashes for 12 looooooong years...
Pulling into the lot....with the Boss at the wheel I
notice and comment on this gorgeous red
sports car that I did not recognize...
Odd...since we are a family of car
enthusiasts and I can usually identify almost anything....

Disregard that you guys can read what this is....

Isn't it a Beauty....
it happens to be the newly designed 2014
Chevy Corvette....
Who knew the Americans could design such a great
looking sports car....

We have been a Family of Corvette Owners since the Boss owned
one back in the 60's......over the years we have owned
Six.....including the one we drove all the way to
Fort Lauderdale when we moved there in 1977 with
Daughter sitting on my lap....
Which could explain why she is only 5 feet tall......
No car seats needed back then....

Back to the hormones.....I went in to Walgreen's and got 
sticker shock when the Co-Pay on my insurance went from
$40.00 a month to $85.00 a month...
Thank you Obama-Care...
Being Frugal I refused the pills figuring after 12 years
of Hot flashes one of these days I am sure to just get used to them..
It was the principle of the thing....
My extra $45.00 was not about to pay for some
college kids birth control pills....

 We left Walgreen's and drove over for a Dog at the Varsity....
An Atlanta institution...
and the Boss' Idea of a Fancy dinner out....

After some Fine Dining he suggested we stop by our local
Chevy dealer just to take a little "Peek" at the new Vettes...
Okay...I'm a sucker for window shopping....
And Shiny Cars.....
BUT.....by now you all know the Boss is a Sucker....
for purchasing Cars......

The Dealer had not a one 2014 to be had.....
They are in the process of remodeling their showroom floor
and had two 2013's left....

Having an un-diagnosed Sinus Infection.....Hot flashes....
And....a stomach full of Chili "Dawgs" as they call them
down here...
I was not totally excited to "Car Shop"....
after all this was just to be a quick stop in and Peek....
I've been married to this man for 43 years....
Who was I kidding....

Well....the moral of the story is the Boss has been wanting
a "427" Corvette since the 1960's.....
The Better question would be is there anything he hasn't wanted???

This car happened to be the 60th Anniversary
Heritage Collection
"427"
Convertible....
Only 2400 made.....only for one year.....
SURELY....to be a collectible and worth money
when we hit about 80......
Or someday when we are long gone Daughter will be
parlaying the Car Collection into a fortune at the Barrett Jackson
Car Auctions....


My Only Question was.....
"Your going to put that where???"
How do you get 8 cars into a three car garage....
You don't.
Another Lift perhaps??
Nope....Sue might run into it trying to pull in her car....
Five in three is our limit....
shown here.....
You can only Stack Um so High....
But this is how you get
five cars in a three car garage....
In case you wondered....
It seems this is a Guy Thing....
I..... on the other hand... feel like I'm at a parking
Garage on the West Side of New York.....
Every time I leave the house I expect to have to Pay for the time
My Car was parked....
That would be my Nazi-Box parked all the way on the
Right....

Industrial Strength Auto Lifts....
They can Hold up to
Nine Thousand Pounds....

"This is the Buy of a Lifetime".....
"Don't worry we will figure out the Logistics at a later time...."
To Make matters worse our car salesman
Was like something out of a Tyler Perry Movie.....
All he did was laugh....He was very nice...
He thought we were some sort of Two Man comedy Team....
No....this is just how we react to each other....
Snarky Comments....Wise remarks....
This is what we do....


So making an Offer the Boss couldn't Refuse.....
"We"
are  now the Proud Owners of.......

He has a New Car....
I have indigestion (from the Hot Dogs) and the Hot flashes are getting worse.....
Still Refusing to fork over $85.00 I was also getting tired of
waking up at night with my head
Inside a Pizza Oven....

So after speaking with our Beloved Dr. H.....
He found two Generic hormones....
That taken together are the exact same dosage as the expensive
Prempro....
Cost.....$7.36 for a month....for both....

SCORE!!
Watch out with saving like that I might just have to go look
next week at the New 2014 V.W.'s
Nah..........I think We Have finally
Reached our Limit....
