Car troubles... Knee...

I haven't written in the BLOG for a while, so lets start...

I haven't had a car accident since I started driving. Not a bad record at all, and something to be proud of. This year started off bad, the first Thursday back, I lost control of the car in the slush on the left side of the passing lane, and bumped into the devider. This little bump, combined with the slushy road conditions ended up throwing me into the guard rail on the right side of HW15 on the way into work. Good thing for the light traffic, because I did not touach another car. I a got out of the car without a scratch, and looked at the damage. It did not look like much, but I new I would not be able to drive it in this condition. The police came, and the report was done, the towing then came to pick up the car and I had it towed to my dealer.

It was there that the service guy first put doubt into my mind that the car was not repairable. The thing is if the repairs cost more than the car is woth the Quebec law requires the insurance to write the car off as a total loss.

So shopping for a new car stated. I informed myself on what my car was worth etc...

So being a very well informed buyer, I was able to deal a good price on a 2002 Ford Focus sedan with only 30 000KM on it! And bargaining with the insurance to get as much as possible for my escort, and also keep my winter tires.


Next was my second knee operation. Everyone kept asking me if I was nervous. And some people just would not stop. Arthoscopic surdery is very easy going and I walked out of there with no problems. There was nothing to worry about. 4-6 weeks before I can do full sports, but well woththe wait.

These have been rambligs on and bablings and may not make sense, but that is it, My BLOG!
