Oof.
Speaking of oof, gotta pick up my car after work. $800 worth of repairs on it and she should be running like a dream, right? Sheesh.
I should qualify that by saying she was already running fine, but most of that was to pay for them to do the diagnostic check to find out what was wrong with the vaper emissions that was keeping me from passing the e-check, then the repair on the line. Rear stabilizer was also broken, so I told them to fix that, too. Didn't affect the ride, though.
That's an expensive ride.  It's no wonder car dealerships are predicted to go out of business by the hundreds once electric cars become more prevalent. Big drop in repair income.
Yea, but just wait for the bill when you have to replace a battery!
Gas to the grave for me!

Starting the afternoon a little late with a Ninfamanoac.
Grocery shopping tool a bit longer as the store was a bit more crowded than usual...realize college students are starting to trickle in.  View while shopping was pleasant indeed.  Good to live in a college town!
I feel like the use of "tool" was no accident. Brag much?

Well, the car is paid for, so it's still an OK deal in the long term. First time in a long time I've had to bring it in for something other than an oil change.

And we're not helping much with keeping you entertained. Did you read about ClemsonDave's tool?
