Yeh, I've been noticing the "in your face" adverts tonight.

"sigh" Guess I get what I pay for.

Ma, soo-boo-ree is oozing oil out of a number of seals and gaskets. Apparently to be expected from a used engine that sat on a shelf or in a junkyard for several years, then got put into another car and used again. Gotta drive to West-by-God-Virginia tomorrow to have seals replaced as that is where the warranty is good.   Get to enjoy the awd on the way, as it has been snowing in the mountains for 2 days, and will continue tomorrow.

So happens true Ma's birthdate is coming up and Sis bought tickets for a Harry Connick Jr. concert for a present, and now can't come and so happens I will be there in her stead.

I expect to return as mellow as ketchup from the experience.
