Day after and the living is chunky--woke up early. Made it up and out for a run to SB's--had my regular latte (which didn't provide a missing game piece for SBFL game; got another duplicate) and motored over to the copy shop. Made copies of MD's word list for the week--and started to go back to TJ's for some groceries.

Alas, I didn't make it to TJ's--the truck coughed and sputtered and I made it to the repair shop. They ran a diagnostic and got indications that the electrical system needed repair--the plugs are said to be good for 100,000 miles and they are at 97,000 and needing replacement.

Hopefully, that's all they'll discover--but there could be more. The vehicle has done well for its 97,000 mile life--I bought it 14 years ago. But I've now replaced several of the major pieces--and mostly since I moved to Fir Oaks. Even though I'm not driving very much--it's just getting old.

SD was picked up this morning--and should be back home by now. Place has gotten really quiet--everyone taking a breather from the hubbub of the holidaze. It's also getting really cold tonight and over the next few daze--cold like temperatures being below 30 at nights and early mornings. Brrrr--and Brrrr!

Should be hearing from the garage soon--to either pickup mu pickup or for a delay into the morrow.
