New Flooring

Mom & Dad went to the Home Depot box store today and got new floor cover for me.

 

Its called TrafficMaster Vinyl Planks and the color is called

 

Old Hickory Nutmeg

 

Mom likes the feel of it, not perfectly flat like other kinds of vinyl.  Mom said it looks like fake wood and Dad says it should be easy to put in. He said it snaps together and doesn't need to be glued. They can put it right over the old green stuff I've already got inside me.

 

 

They had to buy 2 boxes of it even though they will only need to use a couple planks out of the second box.

 

If I look like this when its all inside me then I will feel like a million bucks.

 

Even though Mom & Dad only spent about $95.00 on it.

 

Mom says I'm worth about $1,500 now.

Mustangs on Parade

Mom & Dad took Mus Tang to a parade.

Mom likes this orange one.

 

They marked him up.

 

 There were lots and lots of them.

 

Mus Tand looked pretty snazzy.

There were some really fast ones.

 

 

There were other red ones. 

 

This one is a (replica) of a 1940 GT 40, dude has spent over $267,000.00 on it. 

 

 

This drag strip is half mile long and it had 4 full lanes of Mus Tangs plus the exit lane plus 2 more large areas of Mus Tangs parked. 

 

 

Mom liked this pink girly girl car. 

 

 

But Mom liked this car bestest. 

 

 

This beast didn't go in the parade. 

 

This is some of the first 100 cars in the parade. 

 

Here are some of the 2nd hundred cars in the parade.  

 

This blue Mus Tang spend most of the day behind my Mus Tang. 

 

Mom & Dad spend over an hour on the parade route before they got back to the drag strip. It took over three hours for all the cars to get out of the drag strip & back again.

 

Dad said he won the raffle when they let him park in the front of a line but they had it so everyone could get out easily to go home.

 

There were about 862 Mustangs on Parade, a Guinness Book Of World Records guy was there & counted them all to make it official.

My Guts

Remember this box?

 

 

Mom talked into that black thingy and the voice inside it told her to open my guts and let them fill with air. This is what was inside the box.

  This stuff was really heavy, 31 pounds shipping weight.

 

She had to unwrap a lot of plastic.

 

Then untie the top of the bag...

and WOWIE!

That bag grew big really fast! Suddenly it was twice as big as it started out.

 

 

Mom didn't want the dog or cat beasts to climb, pee on or chew so she brought them out to the cave and put them inside me.

 

I am the happiest camper in this whole cave.

 

They are long and white and firm.

 

Next week the voice in the black thingy said it will help her learn to make the covers.

That will make me happier.

 

I specially can't wait for this ally gator stuff to be inside me. It will make me mean looking.

Visitors This Evening

Mom brought a friend inside me to visit this evening.

 

Her name is Linda and shes Moms really super good friend. They have known each other for 6 years now and have done many, many triathlons together. Not that I have ever done a triathlon, rode a like, swam or anything like that. I'm a pretty lazy little camper trailer.

 

Anyway, they sat inside me in the half light and chatted about bikes.

 

I have 3 mountain bikes standing guard right outside my door, I feel so safe knowing they are there all the time.

 

Mom and Linda had to sit on my old seat cushions because Mom hasn't made the new covers of my new foam seats. But those old ones are still OK for sitting on and they were even kind of cleanish, or at least not filthy and no spiders.

 

Mom still needs to do a lot of cleaning on my inside walls, there is still a lot of mildew in me.

 

Look Whats Here

My cushions have arrived!

 

Mom said she doesn't even want to open the box yet because one of the cats might pee on them or one of the dogs might chew them up.

 

I don't want peed on or chewed up guts.

Mom and Dad are taking Mus Tang on a ROAD TRIP this weekend
and I don't get to go!

But Mom is smart to not be leaving my guts sitting around unattended.

Thanks Mom.

Mom Went Shopping

Mom & Dad went shopping and got a bunch of new kitchen gadgets for me. There was all sorts of old stuff in my drawers and cupboards but Mom wants all new. She also wanted all plastic lightweight stuff since I don't weigh much myself. That old stuff was mismatched metal and ugly.

 

Plastic plates, bowls, colander, cups, 4 solar lights, silverware tray, 2 dish wash tubs, plastic 'silverware', toothpicks and matches. She got a knew knife too but they are being washed.

 

 

Mom didn't want huge cups but she did want plastic. Then, seeing the bright colors decided we need one of each. This way Dad won't accidently drink her stuff and she won't get his.

I think this is an awesome idea.

Mus Tang Leaks

Dad asked Mom to go to town with him in Mus Tang and its wet outside.

This is what mom had to do the whole way, hold a bottle up to catch the rain water coming in through the top. She doesn't want to do this the whole way to Woodburn, Oregon next weekend for the parade.

 

I remember when lighters were lighters, not power outlets.

 

Dad likes to use the original key for Mus Tang.

Thats a big box

Mom & Dad went shopping at a big box store. I wonder how big that box is? As big as a bus?

They bought a new roll of carpet, 6 x 9, that we will have for ME! They will roll it out so everyone who enters me will get the RED CARPET TREATMENT. Except its tan, not red but that's a minor detail. Dad said its to keep my floor clean.

Mom wonders how she will keep the rug clean. 

This is what it will look like rolled out.

 

 

Mom was a little disappointed because my guts didn't come today. One of my cousins, a big semi & trailer, was late getting to the place it was supposed to be. Mom said its OK though because she's not ready to sew all the cushion covers and eye covers.

I wish they would hurry and get here so I don't feel so empty.

Then Mom reminded me that she has a lot more work to do and one of the first things is a new floor. I will be really happy with a new floor, I picked this one.

 

 

Mom said she can get this in peel & stick vinyl that she could put right over the top of my old floor but she's not sure how this would work. She's going to google it.

 

Whats a google?

 

A googol is the digit 1 followed by 100 zeroes:

10,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000

 

New Cave Mate

I have a new Cave Mate, her name is Mee Atta. Shes all black and smaller than me.

I wonder when Mus Tang is going to be back?

Mom said shes expecting a package today with my guts in it. I hope they make me feel full.
