Oooooo! They're Making a Movie!

First, an update on the trials and tribulations of being an automobile owner. Yesterday, the first thing we did was to rent a car from Enterprise - it's a nice new car - only 5,000 miles on her and has that nice new car smell - but it's pretty gutless - I think it's a 6 banger - but what the hay! It will get us around for a few days while we await the return of our motors.

The Pontiac is now in a hospital for cars with electrical problems. It will need a transplant - a new dashboard gauge cluster at a cost of a mere $600. She will be coming home on Friday.

The Toyota is in a more general hospital where she is having her fuel filter changed and all of her fuel lines blown out under pressure - she was constipated. That will cost a mere $800. Add that to the cost of the rental and poooof! there goes my pension! The Toyota is due home this afternoon - all being well.

Yesterday, after dropping off all the sick cars, we went down to the Wings place to get lunch - they do a cheap lunch on Tuesdays. When we got down there we couldn't get near the restaurant - there were trucks all over the place and tents and marquees and people sitting in director's chairs....WOW! They were shooting a movie! On the side of one of the huge trucks it said King Kong - I wonder if they are making a sequel at our Wings place! The restaurant won't open back up until tomorrow and I will ask Juan, the manager, what the movie shoot was all about - AND why wasn't I asked to be in the movie! What nerve!

Mr. Indi stayed home again today and worked on his computer - month end reports etc. He is still coming down from all the steroids plus feeling dopey from the Benadryl. He's up and down like a yo-yo!
