two days and i have not driven the Cayman with the new SSK yet.

my knee still makes me hesitant about such things - i wish it would up and heal already. i am tired of restriction. the husband graciously took us around for a sweet test spin (you would think taking someone for a "spin" in a car would not be the most positive of things?) so everything works bliss. i am a little grrl waiting to be tall enough to ride the loop-de-loop, a falcon lashed to the perch, a sleeper....

there is something disheartening about being so close to the finish of a project and realizing the very last step before re-installation is just something i was not able to do. now that the shifter and link are together it is all glory, but last night...

after a quick trip to a Porsche mechanic on the way to work, i was in possession of an assembled shift/link exchange. i admit i took the linkage in to work - partially to work it a bit in-between cataloguing, and partially to show...

having two cars and a healing knee are most times not a good combination for the Porsche downstairs in the garage. also puppies, puppies are a good reason not to drive the Porsche - and puppy vomit. yes. and the lingering chance that there may be puppy poo.

needless to say i drove the Saab (o'puppies) to the mobile rescue this morning, and also to the PirateBar last night for a friend's B-Day. i want to park the Cayman on the street downtown in the Mission at night, but i just...

two weeks ago the husband and i had cable installed for the first time. cable - hundreds of channels of commercials and connections to places, hobbies and hurtles that rarely resemble reality...

i think my interface is defunct as instead of cable, my laptop requires most of my attention - and always in the background is this, the Cayman Club site.

my husband and i fell for her at very first sight. sure we drove a Z4, and looked at the new Audi TT (wha? outside...
