car follies...

[jay]

My Mustang convertible has been in the shop for most of the time since I've been back from the Arctic... nearly a week, this time. Waiting for a replacement EGR valve, which finally came in today... for the wrong engine. Gah. I might get the car back today, but it looks increasingly unlikely. I'm supposed to go to a private party tonight in the East Bay... time to start trying to line up rides. And I hate asking for help.

OTOH, we picked up James from band camp, which was fine -- he has learned to march, and carries one of their bass drums, and wasn't one of the kids stung by a swarm of yellowjackets. I'm dubious about their music this year... granted, it isn't all written yet. Looked for bdot and M., but didn't see them.

Glad I could help with transportation, love... and truly, it wasn't any trouble at all, and I was glad for the extra time with you.

mva is still in tennessee...she comes back tonight. i had phoned ms. kramer to tell her that mva wouldn't be there, but got no response. was band camp a sleep-away thing or just at the school?

didn't james march last year?

Drat on the car.

If you'd like mine sometime this week, there are some days that it is possible.

Heh, your experience is matching mine with Ford-branded cars. I looked briefly at the Focus hatchback when car shopping since they're kinda cute, but after the unpleasantness that was involved with the two Escorts we owned, I decided I wasn't likely to buy a car with a Ford badge slapped on it without a really compelling reason.
