It was time for the spark plugs and wires to be replaced (it's supposed to be done ever 15K or so) as well as the fuel filter. The timing belt and water pump (since it is belt driven) were recommended to be replaced so we did. Got a transmission and a cooling system flush. That was all of the regular recommended service. The other repair that ( Read more... )

My car has passed the point where I need to do it's 90,000 miles service. When I checked out the scheduled maintenance guide that came wiht the car and saw how long the list was I decided maybe it was time for me to make notes in the book of what service has been done so I would know what really needs to be done when I take it in later this week. I ( Read more... )

I just got a call about druidmage's car. Turns out a hose that wasn't replaced with the transmission in January had broken and basically the car had no transmission fluid ( Read more... )

It's looking like Gavin is giving me a break after his 4 a.m. night. He went to bed fairly easy and actually fell asleep in my arms before being put in bed. I'm hoping he stays asleep. I could use a good night's rest ( Read more... )

Well it looks like my original idea for NaNoWriMo 2007 is a no go this year. I finally sat down and looked through my Sierra Fortuna game notes last night and discovered something. I had already started translating my notes at one point and so most of the game note were already in story form. Add in the fact that my notes from several of the games ( Read more... )

*Sigh* I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things this afternoon and I noticed as I was pulling out that my "Door ajar" light was on. Knowing all the door were shut I knew it had to be for my trunk. I knew I had closed the trunk so I headed on home. Well when I got home I couldn't open the trunk. I tried the release lever in the car, the button on ( Read more... )

I am so wigged out and I probably shouldn't be. Two years ago I was the cause of a three-car accident. At the time when the officer asked the others involved if there were any injuries. Everyone said no. Then a little while later I got a notice from my insurance company that the claim had been moved from one person to another "due to injuries". I ( Read more... )

I don't really know why I'm still awake or even updating here, but hey I am. I got some work done on my car today. I asked them to do an inspection. They didn't find much that needed to be done, but I had them do it anyway. Kind of nice to know that I don't have to worry about anything mechanical going wrong anytime soon. I'm still amazed at how ( Read more... )

Well things are slowly returning to normal. We picked up druidmage's car on Friday. It's driving fine now. We spent the weekend at his Mema's so we could relax and give Gavin a break from the car seat since he had been in it a lot the last two weeks ( Read more... )
