And the reason I'm disappointed is because the day just didn't go right. I need to take my car into the shop tomorrow for a Funny Noise Investigation. My lawnmower needs to visit the repair guy as well. It's supposed to rain. I didn't win the lottery.

I did indeed buy a lottery ticket. Just came up empty.

What ticks me off about the lawnmower is that it's only a couple of months old, and it was the top-of-the-line model.

Kuro, my Forester, is currently at the dealership. The service manager ID'd one of the funny noises right off the bat. Nothing serious, just annoying.

I decided to have Kuro cleaned and detailed as well--shampoo, buff, polish, vacuum inside and out. I know some folks do that themselves, but in order to do it right it has to be something you enjoy doing, and I don't enjoy it.

Of course, it's supposed to be raining tonight when I go to get him. That figures, I guess.

Can't you just take the lawnmower back and get it replaced? I mean, a couple of months old?

I am not too big in cleaning my car myself, either--the running joke is, how would I recognize my car in the parking lot if it was clean? I think Murphy has a rule about the correlation of rain and car-washes, something like, if you want to make it rain, get your car washed.

Never thought about naming my car, does he answer to his name? :) Flash his headlights and wiggle his mirrors, maybe? ;)

The problem with the mower is a plugged carburetor intake, which is apparently pretty common these days.

Kuro looks brand-new, all spiff and shiny. He doesn't answer to his name, just sits and stares straight ahead. He's very stoic that way.

Car with a character, I like that...
