Revised Transmission Repair Date

Well, I guess I will be getting the car to the mechanic ASAP now. I do not trust the car at all anymore, even for short trips. More than half the time, the car does not want to accelerate at all from a stop, just kind of says "are you really wanting me to move? Haha, you wish!!" So back to the way things were before I got the car, which is fine. I didn't have a car before I got the car. But at least I know that it should be driveable once the transmission is replaced. Keep our fingers crossed anyways, the used tranny is coming from a place called "PullApart" so there are no real guarantees... but most people I know who have gotten parts from there are usually pretty satisfied. So that's the update!

Writing on the new project is moving right along... that's all I'm going to say on that!

Lakers beat the Celtics!

Me? Back to work... the audit calls!

Have a great night!

wednesday june 16

Wow, getting close the July, close to summer, and it's still cold! I kind of wish I had not put away my space heater for the season, though it's just under the bed, and just a few simple minutes away from being but back into use, so I can't complain about that too much. I just think I will tough it out; the weatherman says it is going to warm up again anytime now! Haha!!

Interesting thing about these social websites. Some people spend all day on them, some people think they are nothing but a waste of time. I don't fall into either of those categories, I use them to keep in touch with friends and also for networking and getting the word out on my book; ok and I play a few games on one of them from time to time. But I think that without these sites, I would never have re-connected with some of the people I have over the last couple of years. People have found me from way back in the past and I have also found some old friends that I was really close to way back when but haven't seen or heard from in close to 30 years! I love it! So I think it's worth it, for sure. I certainly don't post comments every 10 minutes or so, but I will admit to enjoying reading the posts from some people who seem to!

I have found a new writing partner and I am confident that it is a very good thing. And the new writing project is moving right along. I am very happy with the way things are going!

My car, on the otherhand, I am not as confident with. I knew the transmission was iffy when I got the car, but lately the driveability has been going down hill. Last week a friend helped me replace the spark plugs and the spark plug wires, and the car was better, but it is coming down to the time where I need to seriously deal with the tranny. So that is the next project, and I have been hooked up with someone who will give me a great deal on parts and labor with a used transmission. So I will keep the updates coming!

So that's about it for now. Will post more as things happen!

Have a great day!
