Tickets!

Last night while I was at the BAC I got my annual reminder from the Boston ticket givers that my inspection stickers expired!

First off I know it’s my own fault, but if you can flip over a Smart Car and put it in some of the pot holes in Boston street I hope they spend my money wisely.

Also, it’s a $40 ticket! Wow, that hurts. So check your stickers!

Update March 4: I went to get a new sticker and my car failed! Apparently the flashing cruse light has something to do with the emissions. The last time that happened the guy at the dealership said that the light comes on if the gas cap is not closed all the way. So now it’s off to the dealership to get it turned off once again. Then back to the other garage for a real sticker. Currently I’m sporting an “R” which means I have 60 days to get it fixed. Hmmm, I think I just made it thru to May!

x-ray of me

So the last time we went snowboarding I took a pretty good fall. I know I did something as my left ankle was not happy with me! A week and a bit later it’s still at me so I went to the nice folks at Lahey Clinic Burlington. A few x-rays later and a chat with the doctor it’s turns out to be a Grade-1 sprain.

When I told the doc what I did he gave me a funny look as if to say “well at your age perhaps you should stick to flat ground”, but also promoted the fact that in a few weeks we’ll be hitting the slopes for four days!

The fix is stay off it, keep it elevated and take it easy for now. I’ll give it a try and see what happens.

Freedom Trail

Today we had a firsts. We visited Bunker Hill Monument and walked down the Freedom Trail to the USS Constitution. The weather was great and we all enjoyed the great outdoors.

Roses for V Day

So my darling bride surprised me with a dozen roses from NPR. You know the fund drive (aka begging for money) they do at this time of the year.

I’ll admit the flowers are beautiful and I was also very impressed with the box they came in! Call me a geek but they had little test tubs of water for each steam!

Anyhow, enough gab. Check out the pictures, and thank you to my better half, love you.
