my trip to the transmission shop this morning was relatively painless. i like painless. $175 later, my transmission has been serviced and is shifting smoothly again. they jimmied the shifter cable so i can now get it into low gear again. hopefully, that will keep working for the next year or two because, according to pat (the very friendly, nice & talkative manager), it’s a $400 price tag to replace it. i’m just really glad i didn’t have to spend $3000 at their shop like my father did last year.
now, i’m going to watch the end of clueless, read some more and get started on the valentines i’m sending out now that i’ve gotten envelopes to put them in. and it’s still only early saturday afternoon! i love three day weekends!
