Had to take the car into the shop today and it seems to be the transmission going out. Tim is having them flush the transmission fluid and pump new back in, in hopes that will hold us over for a few months or maybe a year. He thinks it’s some kind of bearing going out and it will be several thousand dollars to get a new transmission. So, even though the plan was to get another vehicle for me in 3 years (we’re on an 8 year rotation plan, and Tim got his truck one year early), it looks like it will be a lot sooner. Blech. I hate being off track with the savings and vehicle plans.
Let’s see, a short update. Tim worked Tuesday night/Wed AM till about 3:30 or 4 AM, then slept late and went into work before lunch. He was working on a problem and didn’t get in till about 6:45 PM, then we went walking and had a late supper. We pulled one of our movies out of our DVD library and watched last night. I was tired by about 10:30, and poor Tim’s sleeping patterns are all out of whack.
I spent quite a bit of time yesterday on the computer – I worked on adding photos all morning, and spent a big chunk of the afternoon working on research for our upcoming DC trip. Got a lot more I want to do before we go though!
We didn’t go walking this morning, just took the car to the shop, then I got Tim to drop me at the house and take his truck. I spent a while in the yard all morning, putting out Miracle Gro on some of the flowers and shrubs and watering everything. Not really anything exciting going on. Obviously! 😀
