Spring seems to have come at last, albeit a mainly cold and wet spring. Saturday was torrential rain and yet another round of car shopping. Sunday the weather turned nice and I got to do a few seasonal things outside. (Sorry, but this is all really boring suburb family kind of stuff. No base jumping or even mountain biking, although I have been out on my rollerblades a few times now.) Lawn mowing season is on, and my lawnmower started on the first pull. Woo-hoo! Also washed and waxed Jeannie\u2019s car. (We\u2019re skipping doing the Jeep this year cuz we\u2019re about to get rid of it.) Jeannie\u2019s car is only six months old, but irony of ironies, I had to do some touch up painting on it already. She got hit while parked in front of the bank, going to get a bank check for the Jeep\u2019s replacement. It was a mere scratch, and she had mercy on the 19-year-old girl who hit her with her mom\u2019s car, and decided it\u2019s more trouble than it\u2019s worth to go thru insurance and get it properly fixed in a body shop. These modern plastic bumpers are made to scratched up anyway. So I literally glossed it over, which is fine if you don\u2019t look too closely. I guess you could say the car is broken in now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
