Friday!!

I had a whole mad post here because George was going to have to miss the first few hours of school the first day of school because the computer said she was missing a shot. I took in her shot record and luckily it just wasn't entered right, she's fine. I do need to set up her 7 yr old well check and I will change the appointment to that. She will not be missing the first day of school!!

My van's air conditioner has given out AGAIN. This is the 3rd time this summer. The first time ElCid and a friend of his fixed it. They did it right but the air compressor was bad. The second time we paid a guy to fix it for us. Apparently that air compressor was also bad. We were told if it went again we should take it to a dealer and have them put in an air compressor, somehow theirs are different. UGH. I love Bunso. She's a great car, she's taken us to Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Canada all sorts of places. We have lots of great memories with her but she makes noise when she turns, it's a transmission thing. She's had an oil leak for years that's just getting worse. She tends to stall out briefly when I pull out of the driveway, we don't know why. Bunso is 8 years old (we've had her 7) and has over 150,000 miles (she had 40,000 when we bought it) on her. I would LOVE something to replace her but ElCid isn't so convinced. I'd probably change my mind once I heard what a car payment would be, I have to be honest. I haven't had a car payment in years.

We're supposed to go to St. George on Monday to finally see The Little Mermaid, if I have to suck it up and dive without air conditioning I might cry, the entire way there and back!!

We don't have anything exciting planned for the weekend besides sleeping past 5:45 and maybe car shopping ;)

I agree that Bunso is a nice car but no AC in Vegas is unacceptable! It has only been like high 80s around here maybe 90s if I am in Lewiston and I would cry without my AC!

I keep promising people that air will make the list of things I will spend $ on, so far it is just empty promises. But then I don't live in Vegas ;-} I can't imagine you without Bunso, you've had her longer than George, right? xoxoxox

Oh! Check out the weather forecast and drive when it is coolest! In our area that is from 0400-0700. Yeah, I know, with friends like me ...
