...Just can't wait to get on the road again...

Finally took a pic of my ride!
Getting rather antsy to get my ass back out there. Need to get those wheels turning again! I was a bad girl and had my bff cut my cast off. The bone wasn't hurting anymore but the knuckle on my thumb sure was where the cast was sitting on it. And I just couldn't take it anymore. But I'm being a good girl too...I've ordered a splint that is specifically for that type of fracture (wonder if I could get the VA to reimburse some of the cost for it? Hmm...I'll have to check into that).

So this week going to start getting the truck back together again. Got a tiny microwave that my mom gave me that I'm gonna see if I might be able to strap it in there somehow.  I did take the truck out for a short ride a few days ago to see how my hand will handle it. It did ache a bit from it, but without the cast I can now hold the steering wheel at least. I only need the left hand for driving when I'm turning and have to shift while I'm turning. I think the splint will help too.

Was just looking at my camcorder and got to thinking...you see truck stop selling dashboard cameras now (because it helps proves "no-fault" in an accident caused by a car). My mind is spinning on how I could mount my camcorder in there and if it would give a good enough image with the vibration form the truck. Guess it's something I'll just have to play with a bit. At least I'd finally find a use for the camera. LOL
