These are the details of our lives

Here's some rambling details of what's going on with us right now. Kinda dry, but that's all I got tonight. Both motorcycles are now officially sold, delivered, checks cleared, etc. I'll be calling the insurance company tomorrow and cancel the insurance for both. That'll save us about $90/month. I paid off my credit card with the proceeds from my motorcycle, so that's a savings of another $20/month in interest. The sofa is officially sold and delivered. Our living room looks very empty right now. After we sold Chris' Tacoma a few months ago, we decided to get a trailer hitch for the Golf. The hitch is almost installed. All that's left is the wiring and loc-tite on the bolts. For anyone interested, the installation was pretty easy. Chris pulled back the aluminium heat shield next to the muffler to give us access. We had to drill 4 holes through the trunk floor, and the drill would not even come close to fitting in the tight spots around the muffler. We held the hitch in place and used a punch to mark where each hole should go, and then we drilled from above. The tough parts of the installation were: 1) getting under the car far enough to see and wrench; 2) marking the spots for the holes with enough force to be visible from above (no room to swing the hammer). The rest was just drilling and tightening bolts. We did have to get an extension for the socket wrench, but there weren't any difficulties once we had that. We bought some new tennis racquets. The head guard on my racquet cracked on Saturday, and we decided our 20-year-old racquets needed to be replaced. We both got Head Titanium S5 models, $70 each, at Sports Authority. They're on the large end of a mid-size racquet with middle-of-the-road power vs. control. We're not at the same level of play (I'm considerably better for the moment), but we've both played only about 3 weeks in the past 10 years. This racquet will give Chris room to grow and it will meet my immediate needs and then some. Neither of us are racquet connoisseurs, so we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a good racquet and a great one anyway. The ones we got are good ones. We took a tennis lesson on Saturday, and although he still gets frustrated, Chris is improving. I hope he keeps at it. I'm feeling more confident each time I play. I've said it before, but it bears repeating: I'm thrilled to be back on the tennis court. That's all for now. This evening was spent watching a few CSI episodes we had backlogged on Tivo. Just a Sunday evening chillin', dreading the workday tomorrow. Give yourselves a hug and take a deep breath.
