Today is the hottest day so far this year


Well Saturday, I had the oil changed in my car, the tires balanced and then I had the dogs groomed. It was time to take off the winter coats from the dogs

Well, all was going well until I decided to drive to my mother's house. Well my car began to make a noise under the hood, first I though, what the heck did the guy leave the oil plug or something off.... or what?

Wouldn't you know it. THE AIR CONDITIONER compressor was smoking and I guess it just burned the bearing and or the clutch or something. What ever the case... NOW THE AIR DOES NOT WORK.

I don't think there is such a thing as a problem free period in living. It's one thing or the other.
Last week, the right back window had a problem, I took it apart and the cable was tangled up. I just removed the assembly, and simply glued the window No one rides in the back generally anyways.
the car is 16 yrs old, with 200K miles. I'm Ok with the issue with the back window, but geez!!!! the Air Conditioner-- now that's a real trip !!!!

this is why I like to have two cars.... now not only do I have only one, the issue is the challenge to get another one. I don't really care for car payments. So I have to figure out what is the best option. I know I will fix the air conditioner...
But - Geez.... I'm certainly hoping for some relief from these various issues to turn to a positive phase where problems are diminished or vanish.
The other house is a continual issue.
but these are all things that happen when the funds are not at a point to just fix everything that needs fixing. It's so strange, because at one time, it was not such a situations.
It's time for the cloud to move along, and the sunshine of positive things to flood in.

Well, I won't be wearing a tie to work today, not when I have to drive with the windows down to keep from burning up

Well i did wear the tie to work, ordered the compressor, and began to look at new cars. I like the C350 Benz, and the E350 Benz - either works fine for me. so, the trek starts to pursue it.

I've driven Benz for the past 20 yr. Each car was a pre-owned vehicle, I still got 10 yrs of driving out of it. early next year it will be 10 yrs for the one I currently have.

I've order the Air Compressor, I'm told I may need to change some other parts due to the compressor failure. I'll have it repaired.

I went out looking yesterday at cars, I looked at a 2014 C350 - the sales person showed me also a C250, but I don't think I want the 4 cylinder, although I think current 4 cylinder perform well and is fuel efficient. It was Pre-Certified so the condition is excellent and he had favorable things to say about the warranty.
