Fires still burning way south and east of us, but the weather has taken a favorable turn so they ought to make good progress this weekend. No big plans for us this weekend -- I do have to do some work, but I think maybe 4-6 hours only.
One big win for me this past week. The podiatrist that I was seeing earlier this year after I tore the toenail off of my big toe last year, was billing me $750 for a procedure that she never did. Back and forth with the billing company and they finally agreed to remove the charge. Not a win, but at least taken care of, got my truck repaired to eliminate the Check Engine light. It was actually an accurate indicator -- bad fuel cap and a leaky gas tank pump. Cost more than I would like, but I trust this garage and on a truck that’s 19 years old have to expect more things to wear out. Talked about rebuilding the front end -- that’s a bit more than I want to pay and tire wear is normal, so I’ll let that go.
Happy Caturday, Gerbil Nation! Now with moar ‘coons!
Good morning, Sven!
No onshore breeze this morning, so its very smoky. As Sven said, the firefighters should be able to make good progress on the fires.
Sven -- it’s always a balancing game with older vehicles. It’s always cheaper to fix up an older car than to buy a new one, but at some point you say enough is enough.
Happy Saturday, GN.

True and the same argument applies to spouses or so I’ve heard.
In the case of wives, it’s easier to fix yourself up than to try to change them.
I might have gotten mixed up -- it might have been cats, not spouses.
A great song. Too bad it’s being co-opted by Harris.
