Morning Coffee Notes
Last night, on the way from the office to the gas station, Dana’s car broke down. Fortunately there was a tiny one-man garage at the gas station, and I was lucky enough to have the owner see me on his way home. He spent an hour examining the engine, then he found the problem - some rather important and well-hidden special wire is broken, and needs to be replaced. He’s going to buy it today and call me then. Yay. Of course that’s another thing that costs this month. If I’m not completely wrong, the insurance company is collecting the next half-year payment next month, too. Great… all expenses at once, as always.
My mom turns 50 on Saturday, we’re going there tomorrow, it’s a 500-klicks trip. We got a nice present for her, I hope she’ll like it. :)
And Wil Wheaton was cast for a new movie. Congrats - even though he’ll probably never read these lines, hehe. ;)
UPDATE: the garage called - the ignition coil is broken and needs to be replaced. Wheee… a total of $300 in unplanned car repairs, always a good thing. sigh
