toy status update ;)

Two weeks later, and $3600 sent to the current owner by Paypal, and still no car... the exhaust system has been replaced, it passed its smog check, but now the convertible top shop has a backlog and can't finish replacing the ripped top until Thursday lunchtime. So I will need to cancel my DMV appointment tomorrow afternoon...

On the good side, the car will have a recently-rebuilt engine and almost new transmission, recent paint and now new exhaust and a top. Someday I'll actually see the car in person... ;).

And... patgreene got her Jeopardy winnings check in the mail today! So she's off to the Apple store, determined to have something tangible for herself to show for it before bills and household crises absorb it all. (wry grin)

Finally, the $26 used TV, that I bought on eBay and that patgreene hauled back from Sacramento yesterday, works great and the kids have a GameCube display again...
