It was the cat, honest.

Is that Rusty?

How many times do I have to tell you Rusty? A dog license is not the same thing.

" You really need to get those brakes fixed ! "

Well, Liverlips says it isn’t Rusty….and I’m inclined to agree….

also reddish furred but a bit smaller than Rusty…. and shorter legged.

He likes to act human:

No Milk Bones for you tonight, Mickey.

And none of Mama’s apple crunch pie, either…..

even though the streusel topping is your favorite.

Well, maybe a tiny piece….

but absolutely no ice cream!

He didn’t want to walk all that way to the tree.

I don’t think that he was messin" I think he was serious .

Well, now Mickey knows how to put the car into Neutral !

It took off all by itself. I don’t trust those driverless cars.

What is it about dogs and trees? It’s just a natural attraction, i guess.

Got my oil and filter change yesterday

Oil, filter, two license plate bulbs and a dose of Slick50($40). (Plus a general look over of the van looking for stuff thats not right.)$99.00

Then i got new wiper blades.It’s one of those designees that has two difrent sized blades for driver and passenger sides. Including the blade in the back, five blades had to be bought because you can’t by just one front blade. You must buy a pair.

$58.97

The bad news? The Rack&Pinion needs to be replaced. Estimated cost, parts and labor, $685.00. THEN take it to a tire shop for an alignment.

Well, ill back burner that for now. As long as i keep the power steering fluid full, its not critical.

That tree jumped out right in front of me!

Yes, he was messing around with the car and messed it up real good!

A small addendum to the above post.

I was wrong about the two packs of blades. After i posted that realized that i didn’t have the “other two” blades and called the auto parts store.

They don’t do two-to-a-pack wiper blades any more, because in most cars now there are two different sizes, driver to passenger side.

…wow…

Almost $60 for three blades.

Well, i didn’t choose the cheapest blades there, and i didn’t choose the most expensive either.

My son did this when he was about 2 with the golf cart. Grandma left the key in and he knew what that peddle was for! BAM right into a tree!! Thankfully, no injuries..

The cat did it, honest.

Yay! Somebody posted a comment!
