Getting the Car Tuned Up and Other Things...

The day had a few unexpected glitches...

I had planned on bringing the car in for a tune up... but I wasn't planning on doing it today.

But after dropping Mom off, I went back to the car and it wouldn't start... After about three seconds, it started and it went off again...

I started praying and messaged Alan... He said, "Try opening the door again!"

I did that a couple of times, but each time I'd start it, the car would start and go off again. I called the Toyota Dealer which was less than ONE kilometer away and they wanted to charge me to have someone come to look at the car!

I kept praying and finally it started! By now, it's 10:30!

I needed a tune up... and they said I needed to change the brake pads... and they charged me almost 10US$ to put in some radiator fluid... And they were going to change the windshield wipers and I said NO, DON'T... Their wipers were almost 30US$... I could buy some for 10US$.

I will take the car in probably in December to get the brake pads changed... but just the tune up was 200US$!  The brake pads would have been another 200US$! I think we will also be needing to change the tires soon!

I didn't wait around while they were working on the car. I came home and cleaned the house, worked on my tutoring stuff, called to find a battery and renew our house insurance... Yes, I had quite a long list of things to get done...

I picked up the scooter at 4:45 and picked Mom up...

We had counseling this evening!

What a day!

Oh, it's hot again... so I did go for a quick run. It's difficult to get my legs moving when it's this hot.

Seek Him First!
