More Car Stuff.

Front brakes and rotors.

Mice in the engine, stuffing insulation into the fan.

Car should be ready just about... now. This is after the new rear brakes and tires 3 weeks ago. When it rains, it pours. But it will also be paid off in five months, and then the only cost will be upkeep and fuel.

Some days, it makes a difference to people. It makes them feel so much better, and gives them back some control over their lives and their bodies.


Still have the cold. It will go away one of these days.

I'm sorry, you said 'mice in the engine'? [makes sure virtual ears are clear]

Re: massage -- sounds like you've got a bit of a story waiting to be told....

I said mice, but at the dealership they deferred to the less-specific term 'critters.'

Regarding the massage... saw someone who'd not had a massage in 20 years but had chronic pain. Amazing how an hour of treatment can be so relaxing, and some of the things that are easy and straightforward from my perspective can make such a difference. That's it. It's one of the most rewarding things about this line of work -- when clients can work with me to make a difference in their own lives. Things like: you mean if I just hold my hand this way it relieves the pain? I never thought of that! or the highly rewarding I don't believe it, it doesn't hurt any more response. They're all good... although my cynical side kicks in when I'm called an angel.

Well, the mice have to have somewhere warm to go.

Of course, you motor isn't the best place. And they got evicted anyway.

Hope your cold goes away soon. *KIX cold*

Yeah, they like to have someplace warm to crawl into. Now if they'd just leave the insulation alone... I think I'll have to go and tape it back up again. At least they only crawled about and didn't get inside the heater. That happened once before and it was a mess. I won't go into details, but it was completely disgusting.
