Subject: Re: Merry Monday Chat 12.19.16 by TommyT-Bone on 2016/12/19 14:12:11 Been busy since Friday. Picked up Sue's truck on Friday morning. new bumper, light buckets and adjustments. Came out just fine. Went to look at a certified 2015 Suburban LTZ at our local Chevrolet dealer. Fleet rental unit. Possibly a lease return. It was pretty clean and had 47000 miles on the clock. Had the color combo I wanted. Actually I was looking for Summit White/Cocoa Dune and found a Pearl/Cocoa Dune.  Sue loved it (and so did I). Has a few minor cosmetic issues but no deal breakers. Interior as I mentioned was pretty clean. Need to have the carpets shampooed. Couple of scuffs on the inside plastic side walls of the cargo bay area. Light normal wear overall. New rubber up front, very good tires on rear. I've decided to call him Earl. Earl the Pearl. And me? I'll be The Duke of Earl . Drove him up to Bradenton Friday evening. 500 mile test drive. No complaints. Lots of gadgetry and nannies. We both like it though. Saturday we had the memorial service for my older sister and after service get together provided for primarily by one of my other sisters and us. We also halved the cremation expenses with her. Somebody had to do it and it wasn't my BIL. He's a piece of work. Today Sue's off on a 3 day job and I have to start getting the yard and house ready for the party next weekend plus get the Yukon ready to sell. Here are a couple of bad pics of Earl just to give you an idea of our new family member. Have a wonderful day. Sue says Earl is my Christmas/Hanukkah and a few other presents all combined. ;) Kinda like my Yukon only bigger, better and way newer. |
