Happy New Years

Happy New Year Everyone! The Best of Times-The Worse of Times: Well, on New Years Eve my wife and I wanted to go out shopping in the snow covered roads and buy our groceries plus pay some bills. So we get in my 4 Wheel Drive SUV and drive to the bank. As my wife is in the bank and I was waiting for her in the SUV, my radio goes out. What? No radio, then all the lights on my dashboard light up! What??? Then my SUV shuts down and doesn't want to start.

My wife comes out and she see's my face and I must of had a look like a deer in the head lights so she says' What's Wrong! I told her the car shut down and through some miracle...it started. I was about 2 miles from home so I drove home and when I got to the driveway and parked, my SUV started to overheat. My driveway now had all of my antifreeze boiling and overflow all over.

So we call my friend...he's a mechanic. He says he will be over on New Years day and see what the damage is. So we take our non-4 wheel drive mini van to the store. We had planned on New York Strip Steaks for dinner on the 1st but since our friends were coming over we decided to had chicken and cabbage.

They came over around lunch time on New Years. We expected the worse on my SUV. He opened the hood and to my surprise he found my fan belt broken. So we went to the Auto Parts store and we got new belts for the vehicle. We also replaced all of the antifreeze. She is running like a charm...so where is the problem here. Well, what happened to the steaks?

With everything going on we just forgot about not having them. So this morning I went to work at 3:30am and I got home from work at 1:00pm. It was a short day and my wife had the steaks out. I also had some sliced tomato and zucchini. To drink was cucumber-chia seed water with a slice of lemon.

So what happened here...I think 2012 went out like a storm and 2013 came in like a light! I hope the rest of the year goes like it has on New Years Day...my SUV is working. My Radiator/Fan Belt, $7.99 and 30 minutes of work.
