I've got wheels and am hitting the road....

"Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey." -- Fitzhugh Mullan, M.D.

Its been an enjoyable week. I rented the apartment in Dittelbrunn. Its in a residential section of a small village north of Schweinfurt. Its a great apartment, but completely unfurnished. Today, I found a used furniture store- AZF-Arbeitsförderungszentrum ev located at Heckenweg 36, 97422 Schweinfurt, Germany‎ - 09721. They are holding a dining room table and four chairs for me. The owner told me that they get really good stuff in daily. I'll check back in two days and buy my table. Hopefully there is a bed frame and a few other pieces of furnture that I can use.
While Joe was still here we went car shopping. We found a 1995 Fiat Cinquecento. It reminds me of a mini cooper. So far so good. It passed inspection here on base. That is one of the requirements to get a license plate and be able to drive on base. Insurance was very reasonable- so I am cruising around town. So far no potholes, but lots of road construction in front of the base. Today, traffic backed up a bit, but most of it was going opposite to me.
My computer screen is black!!!! The back light broke. I have to decide what to do. Luckily, I had backed it up onto my maxtor drive. I'll be shopping for a new computer soon. Right now I'll use the ones on post.
Take care and send me comments.
Auf Wiedersehen
