SITTING: WAITING ON MY RIDE
I have to take my car to the repair shop today, and I'm going to have to sit the entire time and wait on it to be fixed. It is estimated to take 6-7 hours. I guess a good book is in order.
I don't have anyone that can go with me to drop it off and take me back. I've pissed a lot of people off! LOL...just kidding. There is an outside chance that the Mechanic can run me home..I'll have to see in the morning.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M NOT UPSET. I CHOOSE TO LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE AND BE THANKFUL IT WASN'T THE $2,000.00 DOLLAR BILL WE WERE INITIALLY EXPECTING AND, THAT WE HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED.
I CHOOSE THE POSITIVE AND I'M LOOKING FOR A BLESSING DURING THIS SMALL TEST!
COOL WATER EFFECT ON THE BOTTLE! ACTUAL PIC-NO PHOTOSHOPPING ON THE BOTTLE ITSELF! I LOVE THE REFLECTION ON THE NECK, AND THE MAGNIFICATION THE WATER CAUSED...I DID THE SOFT FOCUS AROUND THE OUTSIDE.
AND I CAN BE THANKFUL THAT THE 2ND LINE RARELY HAPPENS TO ME......
AND WHEN IT DOES.....
IT LANDS IN THE WATER NEAR ICEHOUSE BEER!
SO, WE ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR IF WE CHOOSE TO!
I CHALLENGE YOU: NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCE(S):
TO CHOOSE, TO SEE/FIND, THE POSITIVE, THE BLESSING, THE BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME....
THIS ENTIRE WEEK!
THINK YOU CAN??? I DO!!
EVEN IF IT'S A
WEEK...
CHOOSE TO THINK OF IT AS
BIRD ART!!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL!!

Your bird art made me laugh. Thanks for visiting my blog :)
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to the loaner shitboxes that mechanics used to let you use for the day?
ReplyDeleteBut you are right - let's look on the bright side. Getting your ride fixed at a reasonable cost, even if it means reading a book instead of sitting at your computer all day - well, just as much gets done.
Hope you found a great book to take.
I will have moments of both I am sure. Is that good enough?
ReplyDeleteReading back through what i have missed, unles the Cam sensor costs about $275 then I would say that was a bit pricey. If you could get clear of a picture of it you could remove the 2 wire clip and spin it out yourself. disconnect the battery to reset the computer and put the new one in.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are managing to look on the bright side. Love that bird art.
ReplyDeleteJohn, you always inspire me.... with a smile!
ReplyDeleteI would look at the time sitting and waiting as an opportunity to read without distractions (unless there's too much opportunity for "people-watching")
Saun-- Glad I made you laugh! You are so welcome!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThose pics of yours were AWESOME!!!

Jeannie-- I wondered if the had a loaner--they don't. Maybe the Insurance etc??? It only took 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to get to my books or get some new ones...

Mark-- You are always Good enough Bro!! The total bill was $219.00 and the wait was only 2 hrs! I consider that a victory.
BBB,
John
Thanks for the fix it advice, but the Cam Sensor wasn't what was pictured I don't think! Good call on disconnecting battery to reset computer. Rebooting a car--there is something intrinsically wrong with that statement! LOL.
Tracy-- IT WORKED! any suggestions on how to frame the bird art? ;-)
J
Kelly-- THANK YOU! & It was a totally delightful experience. The people there were awesome, delivery people in and out, and even the POPO showed up! To drop off a K-9 unit car! He didn't bring the Dog as it was his court day!
Raise you right Paw and bark after me!!
Hugs,
J
Does the beer have anything to do with your positive mood? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't mind bird art, as long as they don't doodle on my truck...or try dying my hair!! lol
ReplyDeleteYou're right, things could've been worse. There is ALWAYS a bright side while we still have breath...and of course, God, who gives us breath!
That turd does look like a bird. It IS art. You have a keen eye, dear John. I'll take you to the mechanic, but you'll have to wait 6-7 hours for my flight to arrive and then you'd have to pick me up at the airport but your car will be in the shop, and I'll be on the plane...hmm, guess that won't work so well. Love you, sweet silly man.
