I have no idea why, but I’m bored.  Bored more than usual.  I’ve been looking at new vehicles to help relieve some of my boredom.  Stopped at the Toyota dealer and Jeep place today to poke around without my salesmen being there.  I called to make sure.

Going with Nina to Toyota and possibly take a longer test drive of the FJ Cruiser.  I’m getting the feeling that Nina’s leaning to the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but I’m probably wrong.  I went to the Jeep store and sat in the G.C. and found it quite pleasant, but they only have the 6 cylinder there now.  It is very well equipped but it’s still a 6 cylinder.

The Toyota has a lot more power than my Jeep and the Jeeps that I looked at.  Still a 6 banger, but it’s 4.0 liter.  Yeah, I know.  The Toyota is more comfortable, wider than all the Jeeps.

Erin Today & Weird Shit.

We did the car thing together today.  She was unimpressed with anything and eventually just waited in the car.  Don’t worry, I left the window cracked.  Afterwards we stopped at B.K. and took the food to a park near the mall.

Mostly it was a nice time, but there was a “dog incident” that caused yelling and profanity between 2 other park attendees.  One had his dog leashed and other didn’t.  Leash guy started yelling at me to leash my dog and I meekly explained to him that it wasn’t my dog.  He demanded to know whose dog it was and I ignored him in a gentle and kindly manner.  He came closer and I indicated to him that I wasn’t interested in discussing things with him anymore.  I picked up a rock about the size of a baseball.

He went to his car and put his dog away and took out a back pack, which I assumed had a gun in it by the way it was sagging.  Since he put it on his back I decided not to retrieve one of my guns from my gun safe.  On his way back to rationally discuss things with me, he realized that the dog belonged to an older gentleman and he veered off to confront the true offender of the park’s leash law.

Profanity ensued and I started to get Erin packed away.  When she was safely in the Jeep, I walked up behind the loudmouth and watched him to make sure he didn’t start pounding on the old guy.  The old guy just packed up his dog and left while telling the loudmouth to perform an impossible sex act upon himself.

OK, not so boring on the surface, but it really did nothing for me.  I’m bored with drama.  It was all drama.  Erin and I spent the drive home talking.  Actually, Erin spent the time talking.

Yesterday, Erin and I went to Villanueva State Park and played there and afterward hiked down the river.
