The Truck part 3

Thursday was a busy day driving around in our new ride.  I had a VA appointment for a BP recheck.  Apparently I'm good to go because no one called!  At my age the guideline is 140/70 and I'm hovering around those numbers.  I expect now it's a wait and see.  I have a wellness check in March.

Our skies were overcast and it had been sprinkling so the car wasn't as clean as when we picked it up.  We both agree that it needs to be taller!  We don't like sitting that low to the ground.  It's difficult to get out of too.  The bolstered seats are like climbing out of a bucket.  Perhaps we're not as sporty as two old people can be.

It does have some features that a cool.  Like the backup camera, pulling into a space easily, it has push button start.  When you turn off the engine the dash display tells you to check the back seat.  Blind spot indicators in the side mirrors is right handy.  In case you're wondering our Ford truck is old, a 2000 model and does not have all the computer features as a newer model.  So this car is like getting a new Mac.  You have to learn a whole new operating system.

It was to early to go for lunch so we headed home.  It was cold outside so we stopped at Sam's Club to walk around and get some steps.  Managed to get out of there spending less than twenty bucks.  That rarely happens.  

Once home we unloaded our purchases and had pizza for lunch.  That should help with my blood pressure!  

The stress from the past couple days must have gotten to us because we both took a nap that lasted almost two hours.  The rest of the day was spent relaxing in our chairs.  TV viewing included Father Brown and Dr Blake on PBS.

Our new fangled digital thermostat isn't working.  Blank face and I guess that means no power is going to it.  Jim checked our power sources, nothing.  Checked online to reset it and it has to have power to do that.  So we've called the guy who installed it.  It will be Tuesday before we fit in his schedule.  Sooner if he gets a cancellation.  Meanwhile we can't use the furnace or AC.  Luckily the weather is cooperating with higher temperatures.  

All is right in our world
