My car - and I - spent five hours at the Skidaway Firestone on Wednesday, getting that brake fluid leak repaired.
I am so grateful that I had an appointment!
Sure, I had to wait ten days for it, but at least I was assured of getting the work done in a timely fashion.
The phone there rang all that time with folks who had a flat or needed some repair and all were told they had two options: wait for an assured
appointment on October 30 or bring the car in and leave it on the off-chance the mechanic might be able to squeeze it in.
I just realized how similar that is to the choices the contestants had on "The Wall" - take the sure bet or hope to get lucky.
Yes, I'm glad I took the first option!
Plus, I had my puzzle book with me and they kept me entertained with "Guy's Grocery Games" on the telly.
Rather nice afternoon!
Now, my sweet car will stop when I need her to stop, so all is well!
Why had I waited for Firestone to do the work?
Because I had a pretty good idea of the cost.
They'll grant me six months to pay it off, with zero interest.
That's the deal for me!
Several people had suggested I might want to buy a car...
and I did go a bit of window shopping at Star Auto Sales...
but, as I told them, it's "cheaper to keep her".
Plus, I have this sentimental bond with her, so, there's that.
(smile)
get that car humor, with a touch of Royal Court of China? -
for the fb post that made me laugh out loud!
Oh, and I just realized what that band and the guy who posted this have in common - I was introduced to both by my ex!
Hahahaha! That's funny in and of itself!
So, two people are texting.
buyer: Hi. Are you still selling that truck?
seller: Yes
buyer: Can you send a picture?
seller: (sent shirtless photo of himself)
buyer: Of the truck. Dumbass.
Hahahaha!
Hahahaha!
Especially if you imagine the seller as butt-naked in that selfie!
