On the upside, the wedding we came down here for was very nice and Old Father Blonde enjoyed his birthday party. And Mother Blonde’s car is running fine after I took it in to Sears Auto yesterday morning for a couple of minor repairs.
The downside is our car died on the drive down. On the New Jersey Turnpike. It was running fine then the Check Engine light came on and that was all she wrote. All the work we’ve put in it over the last month and we missed something. Gremlins must have been hiding and waiting. Car’s sitting now at a Pep Boys in North Brunswyck where it has either been looked at by a mechanic named Raul who is not working today so he wasn’t there to tell me what’s wrong or whoever I talked to invented a mechanic named Raul who is conveniently not there to be asked how things are going when things haven’t been going.
First thing Monday morning, though, I was promised, Raul will call to tell me…
Something.
At any rate, we were able to get here thanks to my sister-in-law who came to our rescue and who will drive us back up there when the car’s fixed.
But as you can imagine I’ve been a bit distracted the last couple of days and that distraction will continue a couple more days. So blogging may be even lighter than usual.
When this is over, though, I will write a funny post about it.
Ha ha ha.
