Got my milk.

Car seems fine now. I think my idiot mechanic left air in the lines on top of letting the mice take up residence under the hood and putting gas with water in my tank.

Still going to call this a win.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

OMG! Six. Read your first post and that is horrible. Hope you car stays in running order after you clear and cleared all that out.

Thanks, Brenda.

Yeah. It was ghastly under there. Somewhere in between what my house looks like before I dehoarded and what my friend's basement that I cleaned out looked like.

I've even got crap in my trunk, and maybe even in open tool bags. I'm going to have to deep clean everything.

That's for another day though. Too busy right now.

I started her up again just about 20 minutes ago and let it run about 10 minutes. No problems yet.



Bummer about the Mahjong. You'll get 'em next week.

Me and my bud got the pool table taken apart and hauled up 12 steps and out to his ride, and then the 14 steps down to his basement. SLATE IS HEAVY!!!! Then we got the last piece of furniture he was giving me in my porch.

The couch and the one seater are going to be too big for the room so they're definitely going to be going into the living room once I finish with the baseboard and window trim this winter.


My other bud was hoping I could help him paint the house tomorrow. I told him that I wasn't comfortable driving my car all that way just yet, but he sounds really desperate and can't work this weekend because it's his mom's birthday and some other family stuff. I've been trying to call him back to tell him that if he comes and picks me up I'll work as late as he wants tomorrow night, but I think his cell phone died. I'm hoping I can reach him tonight.

Sounds like. That is horrible.

Running is good.

All I can do is hope for luck next week.

I'm glad your car is back, and that you got it running! It sounds like it was quite a trial getting it going, and a whole 'nother trial cleaning it out. But at least you got wheels now!

I had a really nice time. Didn't get to see her around my birthday so she also brought me my birthday present.

We stayed in the local mall and had a wander around a couple of stores looking at the Christmas items and discussing if they were good. Helped her find a couple of things that she needed. So, yeah good afternoon.
