Friday morning
Dec. 18th, 2009 06:16 amGetting ready for work. Pull a pair of pants out of closet. Pants had been tight several months ago. Decide to try them on anyway.
Pants are now loose. Not only that, but I found a well-laundered $17 in the pocket.
Hope this presages the rest of my day/weekend/year/life.

And the day glides back to earth
Dec. 18th, 2009 01:04 pmService manager called. There are a few other things wrong with Kuro. Valve cover gasket needs replacing. Ignition wires. So, additional $$. I would be a liar if I said that I hadn't expected additional repairs. Kuro is going on 8 years old, and beyond some brake work and a blown oxygen sensor, he's been golden all that time. Scheduled maintenance only.
And hey, at least it wasn't the head gasket.
On the brighter side, my loaner car proved to be a 2010 Outback with 500 miles on it. Still has that new car smell. Drives nice--very solid. Looks totally different than older model Outbacks. Had to adjust to different buttons, electronic rather than hand emergency brake, etc. Satellite radio sounds nice. Not sure if I like the new styling, though, for either the Outback or Forester. Seems like they got rid of the quirkiness and replaced it with generic sloopiness--rounded, bigger, etc.
One nice thing--it's a Partial Zero Emission vehicle. I didn't know Subaru made those, but they have been for years. Not as clean as a hybride, but still pretty clean.
Anyway. Went home during lunch to check on pups. I had just given them their lunch when the power went out. Called it in, and received an estimated repair time of several hours. Left to return to work, and found a police car parked at the major intersection nearest my house. Signals were out, and the lights were out at several businesses. It's a biggie, IOW. Hope the power is back by the time I get home.
Weather's gloomy. Cloudy w/ light rain. Now I wait for the car guy to call when Kuro is ready.
