Ideas and whatnot.

So I got a nice kick in the teeth earlier. I thought I could update our insurance policy to reflect the new car online. I can't. The website is down for reconstruction and won't be back until October 1. boo.

Good news: Under Ohio Law, since this can happen and since titles aren't always instantaneous with new cars, I have 30 days to get the insurance policy updated. Meaning, it can wait until Monday when someone is in the office (seriously?! NOON closing on a Friday?!) and I'm not breaking the law. Huge relief there.

Dad got most of the work done on the Blazer, so I'm allowed to drive it now. The only thing needing done now is the rear end, and it's not something that is critical and will break on me right now and strand me. Oh, and I would like to put stock size tires back on it since the previous owner was a moron who put 30inch offroading tires on a passenger vehicle...that's why the rear end differential is damaged. The tires will be quite lovely for winter if it's rough like it was last year, but other than that, they're overkill.

I've decided that the bumper stickers I usually adorn my vehicles with will not be true stickers on this one. I have a few errands to run and while I'm out I'm going to buy some craft magnets and turn my bumper stickers into removable art, so when I get bored with it or get rid of the Blazer I don't have to go through the hassle of trying to replace my stickers again.

Right now the only one that I won't be able to replace is my suicide prevention sticker. All the others I have duplicates of (ie: mentally incontinent stickers I've hoarded over the years.) or are no longer relevant. Example: The dragon stickers. I have others, and those have served their purpose.

I realize that I'm all over the place recently, but that's all I seem to be able to manage.
