Monday, August 22, 2022 – More Mowing, Bad News On Truck

Hi Sweetie,
Took a long time to get to sleep last night, as usual after a lazy day, but woke up at the right time. After chores and a quick breakfast, I headed out to finish off a few sections of mowing that I missed, plus the new red trail I found the other day. Only took me about two hours, so no big deal. Emptied all my stuff out of the rental car, did a little computer work, then headed out to the rental car place to turn my car in. On the way, I got a call from the mechanic, he’s located another problem, another major part that needs replacing.This job is going to end up being extremely expensive! Ordered the part, but it has to come from California, so it will be late in the week by the time he gets it, may not even be able to get it on Friday, may be another week! Better not have any more repairs on this truck for another five years! I extended my rental car until Friday, hoping maybe I can get the Buick running, but I think it will take a little time for me to trust it for any distance again. Not to mention that even if I get it running, it will probably need new tires, another expense. And the stock market plummeted again today, so I lost money there as well. Not a good start to the week! Meanwhile, I had arranged for Jeff to meet me there so he could drive me to the mechanic, and since that changed, we just headed to a late lunch, early dinner instead. Went to a place called Charley’s which I’ve passed a bunch of times but had never been in, had a Monday Burger special going on, and Guinness on tap! Splurged and had two of those. Got back to camp around 5:00, settled down for the evening. Ready for a quick shower and bed! Good night, baby! Love you!
