Well, my car’s back out of the shop! Somehow when I started walking up to the garage to get it I didn’t realize it was 84 degrees Fahrenheit outside. That’s 29 Celsius to you weirdos in the rest of the world. A mile and a half in long pants was a bad idea.

\nAaanyway. The guy said he’d like to charge me for parts and not labor, but if I wasn’t comfortable paying for the part, he’d waive it since he knew we’d been through a lot to get this baby fixed, and he’d rather keep me as a customer. That part, by the way, was an ignition coil<\/a>, to replace my faulty one. That does help explain why the last two visits turned up a cracked spark plug and a faulty ignition wire. The coil was the underlying cause for those things to go wrong.<\/p>\n

I paid for the part, reasoning that if it had been installed in the initial tuneup, I would have had to pay for it anyway. Besides, he did the other work for free. So we didn’t pay the $70 labor, but did pay the $96 parts.<\/p>\n

That brings the total up to about $1080 now, but it seems to be running beautifully. Huzzah! I can go nowhere because my budget is shot, but at least I can drive nowhere in style!<\/p>\n

Updated http:\/\/wearwithstyle.com , adding the Freak Flag.<\/a> I need to add a few more items as well. I’m thinking about a more comprehensive update, maybe even an overhaul since I also have written up patterns for things like the hat pictured to the right that need web space. Several stores are interested in carrying that pattern, I might as well offer it on the site too. Maybe feed this LJ there? Or at least a regular running Jayne hat update where people can more easily find it, so they can actually see themselves moving up in line? Food for thought.<\/p>\n

And speaking of Jayne hats, my supplier inadvertently sent me the wrong color yarn. Yikes! I had to drive 30 minutes up the road to buy a few skeins of orange so that I wouldn’t be completely out until the new order arrives. Hopefully, that’ll be today. No worries, the knitting continues apace!
