Finally, the car has been repaired after much tearing of the hair. Late Wednesday night Jon came in to tell me. I asked him what he did and it turned out that chubby hubby had crawled under the car and worked on it, fixing the last of the work on the alternator. I had gone out earlier and I have to say, there wasn't much room for him to move about under the car and the car was up on jacks!! You can imagine how nervous I was about that!
Yesterday morning we had to get to the doctor's early and we were rushing about. By the time we were finally ready and in the car, we had 15 minutes to get there. Okay, he started the car and we set off. As we started up the hill at the end of our driveway, a heck of a noise stopped us. Kert said, "Oh I must have left one of my tools on top of the engine." Red flares were going off in my head. It turned out not to be so and we started off again. Midway we smelled a strong burning odor and again Kert pulled off the road saying, "Something must be burning" and jumped out of the car and threw open the hood. Surprise, nothing was burning. Well, something WAS burning but it wasn't the car.
I told him to hurry and get to the doctor's and if the car burst into flames, well he wouldn't have to work on it anymore. The car did fine and we got there a half hour late but they fit us in anyway. After that the car drove like a dream, but hubby kept stopping to listen and would start again. By the time we got home I felt as if I had whiplash.
Last night Jon and Kert went to the auto races. It was the last race of the season except for the BIG one in mid October which runs for 3 days. Now they are saving their money for that one. When we had the RV they would go and spend the whole weekend there, and others in their RV's would get together and have a good time talking with pit crew members and friends they hadn't seen since the year before. Now we no longer have the RV so they will be driving back and forth each day.
It will be nice not having to cook! It will be perfect to be able to read a book from cover to cover with no interruptions. Ha! My weekend to be wild. LOL, I'll probably order a pizza and watch old movies in my flannel jammies with my favorite blanket wrapped around me. Now that's my idea of a good weekend. I think I'll start saving too so they will be sure to go...
I left all the windows open last night and this morning it was darn cold in here. I've got a jacket over my MuuMuu and a blanket around my legs. I guess It's time to throw on warmer clothes. I'm staying inside because it's windy and cool out there and I don't think I'm going to warm up anytime soon. I will definite close most of the windows tonight so it isn't such a shock waking up to cold and taking a shower. Getting out of that nice hot shower and then walking out of the bathroom is really an energy boost. You just can't get dressed fast enough.
I guess it's time I got off this computer and ate some breakfast. My stomach is playing Taps against my back bone.
Have a great day!
Hugs
