ksmithKuro's preventive maintenance completed. Along with the oil/filter change and tire rotation, he had a new air filter and license tag light bulbs installed. Everything else is A-OK.
It's hard to explain how much of a relief this is for me. Until I bought Harrison, at age 39, I had always driven hand-me-down cars. Beaters. They would behave for a year or two, then stuff would start going wrong, often without warning. Worst thing I recall was when Bonnie, the '81 Bonneville, threw a tie rod one afternoon while Dad was driving it. I had just driven her that morning.
Anyway, after eleven years, I am still adjusting to the fact that I am driving a car in which everything works. No warning lights. No weirdness. Let it continue, because Kuro just went past 54K miles this morning, and I would like him to make it to over 100K.
Clarification: Kuro will be 7 in April. Harrison was the 11-year old/bought brand new. But all his buttons and switches still worked, too.
Warm outside, about 50F. Sunny. The snow is melting. Backyard is getting nice and mushy, though there is still some snow. Rain tomorrow.
Dinner--some kind of baked fish roll-up.
Watching Aida on the Food Channel. Someday I want a kitchen like the ones on the cooking shows.
