I'm in. I had my car at the mechanic's yesterday & had some work done so it'd pass inspection. I picked it up & started home only to hear a noise that wasn't there before the work. I turned around & caught them before they had a chance to leave. Seems they were busy & didn't take my car for a long test run after doing the work <grrr> Considering what it sounded like, the test run was to the parking lot. So they squeezed me in first thing this morning so once again I'll be heading to the mechanic. They had to replace a few parts & they think one of them needs adjusting. I'm annoyed but one of their long-time mechanics just had open heart surgery & won't be back so 2 men are trying to do the work of 3. Hopefully they find a replacement mechanic soon. Hope everyone has a great day!  |

lavonm, so frustrating about your car. I'm glad you made it back to the shop and hopefully they will get the car finished today. We depend on our cars so much and we have to keep them running in tip-top condition. You've reminded me to get my car inspected too. DH's eye appointment went well and he is healing well. He'll return in 8 weeks for his final check. Costco run this morning. Also will be scrubbing the BBQ grill grates that I've been soaking outside (for 24 hours)in a trash bag with ammonia. I left the bag in the sun so the ammonia heated up and the fumes help release all of the gunk. I will still probably have to scrub them a little but the ammonia helps a lot. TGIF!

Good morning all.
The air is thick this morning and the storms are coming. Temps are okay, in the seventies so far, but the humidity is oppressive. So looking forward to lovely Fall weather!
Nothing exciting on the agenda. Still flopping around like a fish on the dock as far as diet is concerned. Waiting for motivation to drop from the sky.
Have a good day everyone.

Hey All! Did you miss me? LOL I was on vacation in the mountains for a week. Trying to enjoy some cooler weather. It rained a lot. And I ate a lot. I am NOT getting on the scale until next Friday. I don't care if I gained a pound or two, but I don't want to know about it yet. lavonm , I hope they get your car fixed. I had to take my car in for a recall fix once and after they "fixed" it, it was worse than before. I took it back and they had to undo the recall "fix." So ridiculous. linda72 , What a good tip about the ammonia and grill cleaning. I never heard about that. |

Good afternoon.
Busy morning...setting up for tomorrow's book sale. Then my group went to Sizzler for lunch: salad bar, hot food bar, dessert bar. Damage wasn't too bad, though...I was restrained (for me).
I plan to make Steak Au Poivre tonight for dinner. I hope I'm hungry enough.
Tomorrow morning is a cooking class: Julia Child's Desserts; then I'm meeting a friend (again at Sizzler) for lunch.
Sunday will be a day off...YAY! And I only have one cooking class schduled for next: Instant Pot Tacos.
