We ran our errands early as the heat increased throughout
the day. I took a book and should have
taken two. Today’s the day I need to
baste my white lace collar on my costume but smogging the Toyota, Myrtle, came
first.
Myrtle passed everything with flying colors, and we got her
registered easily at the AAA office. We
had our half sandwiches and now I’m here putting out a light weight blog for
the day. Flowers need watering, dinner
needs buying, and as I finished the book at the AAA office, another book needs
starting.
This is the first year that both the truck and the Toyota
needed to get smogged at the same time.
The fees are dramatically lower, but as usual Grumpy will trump the bank
account with his need for a new exhaust system and catalytic converter. We will cross our fingers and hope the gods
let him pass the test, but I can’t imagine they will let us get away with it.
Then again, life is pretty darned good around here. Really good will really be a chrome tip on
his new exhaust pipe.
Life is Really in the
Footnotes:
The way our society has changed over the years I cannot imagine any West Wing that would have been produced a few decades before could possible keep up with our political evolution. Never heard smogging...sounds British.
ReplyDeleteLove that rose. So what is "smogging"? is that a California custom cause your termites eat cars or something? Sorry, that's my brain going off track again. Termites up the block eating houses, hopefully not our which has been treated Eastern seaboard style. Dianne
ReplyDeletePS did you notice the photo of the steam I took yesterday? Thought of you with your steam punk atuff.
Sounds like a good day for both of you and your car(s). Glad you are enjoying life. So has the new added windows and so on made your house more comfy?
ReplyDeleteThere is much to be said for slow, especially if the alternative is not going at all.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! Wooow! This is so beautiful! And you had a good day on top of this. Lovely.
