Yeah. Only put about 20 or so miles on it so far. Drives real smooth, at least right now. I'm not celebrating anything yet though. This is like the 5th time since August that I thought my car was fixed, only to have something else go catastrophically wrong with it a week or three later.
In fact, my brake indicator came on recently, and my mechanic filled it with fluid while I was getting him to test it before I got the new battery a few weeks back. He said that could be normal and not to worry about anything yet. The light hasn't come back on since, but it probably won't be too long until I need the lines on the other side replaced given all the rust underneath the car.
Then there's the question of emissions. I don't have to have it pass for another year and a half or so, but putting lacquer thinner is out of the question next time with a nylon hose for a fuel line. What I'm hoping for right now is that all these fixes will give me a clean catalyst monitor check and that all the rough starts, flooded engines and cylinder misfires haven't destroyed the CAT.
If I can get a clean monitor by mid October, I can get it tested real early and pass the following year. Finger's crossed.

I'm back. I went to a local office of my provider and they said it was fixed. Got home and it wasn't. So I unplugged the modem and replugged it in with nothing happening. I called the company and talked to someone there and when I turned back to the screen low and be hold I was back up and running. The person on the phone double checked it and said everything was fine.
No idea what went wrong but now I can get to my emails.

It is good news. I had an email that I had answered at the library then I had to get the reply so I could answer it again. It is someone giving me a hand with my writing.

Out for my walk in a bit on a dry Wednesday. Couple of small things to do.

Welcome back, Brenda.
Having no internet outside of Winter doesn't bother me too much since I've usually got a whole lot of other things going on, but right now it's 49 degrees in my house and I'm not getting much done today other than cleaning my garage, moving clutter where it goes in the house and my inevitable trek outside today to shovel snow. I'd go bonkers tonight without it if it was out.
I'm going to save any deep cleaning in the kitchen and the bathroom for tomorrow when I'm already going to have the heat up to 60 for when my dad comes over. Assuming he is coming over... if it's snowing he won't be making it.

I go batty without it in the evenings and especially when I was waiting on emails.

Back from my walk and at 1pm sat down to call someone who said she was free to talk about my writing. Tried calling her and all I got was "her box is disabled."
Will try this evening and tomorrow at 1pm again.

Finally got a hold of the person, I was suppose to connect with at 1pm at 1:20pm. The problem was on her end.

Off to mah jong in the morning for me.

Glad you finally got a hold of her, Brenda. Good luck at Mah Jong tomorrow.
I started my car up while I was out in the garage organizing things and throwing stuff I didn't need away. Didn't really have a reason to anymore, but it was just nice hearing how quiet she is now.
Old man's coming tomorrow. I was going to go to my friend's tomorrow night but turns out he and his wife are doing something with the kid, so we're going to hang out Friday night instead.
If the roads are dry tomorrow, which I doubt very much, I've got a big sale to go to... But there's no huge rush since I've got about 10 days as long as they don't sell out.
This time I'm going to be spending $100.34 and only be paying $8.56 for it after rebate.

Me too SIX. She wanted a little more background on my book before I get the complete manuscript to her then she will read it and help me craft a proposal. Then I will be back on the publisher hunt again.
Mah jong was terrible this morning. Took me the whole 2 hours to just get to 1,000points.
But I got my grocery shopping done. Then when I got in, I sat down and did some more work on my book. Ch 18 is done retyped and started Ch.19.
So, I good bit done on that.
