welfy and I have been busy visiting with LiveJournal friends. On Tuesday, we met with navygreen, her husband and their two kids here in the Omaha area. On Wednesday, we drove down to Kansas City and visited with one of my bestest friends in the whole world justamy and got to meet videoleslie as well. I met Amy online in an IRC chat room about ten years ago, making her one of my oldest and longest friend that I met as a result of these here internets. There's no doubt that she's the dearest. Yesterday afternoon, the work was completed on the truck. I have a brand new transmission, a new starter, and a new water pump. It seems to be running rather well, but I think the water pump might not have been the only thing causing the over-heating, as last night it boiled off some coolant yet again. It doesn't appear to be as near as bad as it was before, though. It's possible that they just over-filled it. I still suspect there's a thermostat/sensor problem somewhere, but at the moment, I'm so tired of sitting it's not something I want to put it back in the shop to rectify. It's something I can have looked later.
In other truck news, I signed the papers yesterday to begin the lease/rental agreement, so all of the financial responsibility for the truck has now shifted to me. With all of the work done on it this past week, I'm rather confident that I've got a fairly decent truck. I know things are still going to fail, as it is a used and aging truck, but with what seems to be a solid motor and a brand new transmission, the things which fail in the future should be relatively minor.
betawriter, though I've been livejournal.friends with her baaaaaby animals lovin' boyfriend joeyhemlock for a few years now. She decided to go with a dark and moody bathtub shot, resulting in a slick, wet and shiny look for her legs. Yow!
