Brrrrrrr this morning. It's 44 degrees at wake-up. I've been waiting for this for a very long time but now that it's here...eeek! I need a couple days to adjust, lol. Winds were brutal yesterday - supposed to be calmer today. I'm counting on it - I've got things to do!

Spending for repairs is always a downer BUT it does help your mood when it's evident it solved the problem 👍

yes, it really does, we had a rattling noise coming from the car when we hit bumps and the mechanic never took me seriously when i asked him about getting it resolved. i guess he was too busy and didn't have the time? but he could have just said that? finally, Mom asked him to fix it and he did (after several years) and it was so much better (and well worth the price IMO)... we live on a bumpy road but also just in general for every little bump to hear that rattle was annoying to me and also to Mom. it has been a lot nicer to drive since then. :)

Had to leave the house this morning at 3:30 this morning to go into work to oversee a software application install. Dark and rainy, not 5 miles from home. Saw a deer just enough in advance to be able to just sideswipe it. No car damage, deer ran off. What a way to start the day
Yikes! So glad it wasn't worse!

Glad for you. I came home in the dark tonight -- dark roads with woods & crops and always active deer. Saw a few, none hit, I drive slow in those areas.

A couple weeks ago, my DS old gf was about 1/2 mile from my house -- about 9pm on a harley --. Hit a deer. Someone found her soon after & called 911. Broken ankle, ribs, facial bones, base of skull. They induced a coma for 3 days. She's got screws & plates, a jaw wired shut, lots of pain. Shame. Hate to see it but, I've told her don't ride at night! 😵‍💫
