Still no car, but I did talk to the mechanic yesterday. He's waiting on the part and he's going to fix it. Looks like he won't need to drop the fuel tank since he'll be using nylon tubing to replace the rusted out line, so if nothing changes it's going to be fixed for under a $100 when he's done.
I can live with that.
Don't know if I'll be getting it before Thanksgiving though.

Back from my walk and I would have had lunch at that little hot dog/hamburger place I like which is near the dentist and the pharmacy I use. But it was just too wet. It was even too wet to wait outside for the bus. I had to stay indoors of the mall till the bus came.
The rain is tapering off now and it is suppose to be dry tomorrow. So we shall see.

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WIVB) — This week’s snowstorm has set a state record for the amount of snowfall within a 24-hour period, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz confirmed on Sunday.
FEMA emergency declaration for NY approved
The historic snowstorm made landfall in Western New York on Thursday and dumped snow on the region until Saturday night. The record was for the most snowfall within a 24-hour period, the previous record having been set in the Tug Hill region of New York State in the 1960s.
Orchard Park had the most overall snowfall of the storm, with 77 inches. Hamburg had 73.7 inches, while Blasdell had 65 inches, rounded out by Elma’s 58.2 inches and West Seneca’s 49 inches for the top five towns and villages that had the most snow.

After reliably cooking nutritious meals for the family every gorram day, today is the day I give thanks for not having to cook. We do takeout T-day meal.
I've slogged my way thru my treatment and hubby's recovery and other misc appts and summer and miscellaneous issues. Watered the property and sprayed for weeds a couple of times, and after today get a chance to get to some nitty gritty yardwork.
I can still only do an hour at a time and not every day, but something is better than nothing. Plus I've been in touch with a guy for some help with the heavier-duty stuff. I hope he's reliable and schedules me in after today.

I had my first proper Thanksgiving Day meal in close to two decades today.
When my bud came and picked me up yesterday for movie night, he heard me finishing a call with my Aunt where we'd all but decided that they'll come over on Saturday instead of today because all the restaurants around me were closed for the holiday. When he was dropping me off last night he offered come swoop me again today for the dinner I was smelling his wife cooking the whole time I was there last night.
It was a small get together, which I prefer and might not have even gone to if it was some huge party, and I got to meet some of his wife's family. I even got a bunch of hugs when I left.
They're good people. He was kind of an asshole back in the day, but I was too. It was really cool that we rekindled our friendship back when my other bud invited me to his big 40th Bday bash. Honestly never thought we'd be friends again, but now he's closer to me than a good deal of my family is.
I'll be helping him move in a slate pool table in a couple of weeks. He's going to sacrifice his awesome movie man cave for the pool table. So I offered to come over next week and help him move his furniture upstairs. He said he didn't know where he'd put it and then asked me if I wanted it.
Sure thing man. A leather couch and single seat that recline and don't have any burn marks or pet damage? I might even put that in my living room and put my futon and 70's recliner out in the porch.
He's even got a REALLY nice faux fireplace/TV stand down there that he thinks he's probably not going to want after the change up too. I didn't even realize that because he never turns it on, but when I mentioned to him yesterday that I wanted to get one of those for the porch he said "oh, like the one I've got?"
It's beautiful, actually. And no doubt it cost a lot more than the one's I've been eyeing. I'm not going to keep my hopes up on getting that, and I doubt I'd be getting it for free if I do, but he'll probably find some work he needs done in trade if he does decide to get rid of it. He's already talking about having me come over and do stuff around the place since his situation is looking really good right now, despite the crap economy.
It was nice getting out of the house the last two days. I haven't done much besides my computer project for about a week since I came back from visiting my brother.
I need to get out more.
