What's on your agenda today?

I'm dealing with a check engine light on/inspection due by end of month situation. I drove 100 miles this morning trying to re-set all the sensors but the light stayed on. (I only drive an average of 8 miles a day so every time I have to get my car inspected I have to do a long drive to cycle everything through) Stopped at Autozone to check the code and it's the Catalytic Converter. Went to my mechanic to get a quote. They said they would call me with it. On my way out, one of my regular mechanics was like pssst c'mere. He whispered at me to go get some Cataclean and drive 20 miles, re-fuel, empty my tank driving and come back. He seemed to think that would fix my problem. I really hope it does because the quote was $1,400 and that's not funny. So I've spent a lot of time today driving.

I have now hung up my driving hat. Had a quick workout to get out some angst. It is now time for weekend cooking and cleaning and then time with my spouse tonight.

I hope that works, easy. Every now and then, my tranny starts feeling wonky and I put Lucas' Stops Slips Transmission Fix in and she's good as new. My car's a 2003 and I've driven cross country 3 times, so she's been places and done things.

I'm not sure what year your car is, but if it's more seasoned like mine, keep in mind the catalytic converters can be made with precious metals and are worth something. My coworker replaced hers and found out 2 months later that her car was worth more broke down with the original catalytic converter in it than running with a brand new one it.

To be thread compliant, my agenda is to watch some TV, play online and basically waste time until I get tired and go to bed. Eventually, the cat boxes will be cleaned as well.

Thank you! So far, the engine light is still out. Have to empty the tank, re-fill, drive some more, and test it with the mechanic. Fingers crossed.

I've been up cooking since early this morning. We're having a big Irish lunch with a friend, paired with an afternoon of playing board games. I made a big batch of Boxty with two toppings. One of smoked fish, and another of sauteed mushrooms and a whiskey gravy.

After that, we're coming home to take care of animals and then heading out to see the Indigo Girls.

Happy day!

My main agenda is to stay awake until bed time.

I got about a third of my bermuda grass sprayed with my mixture of vinagar, salt and Dawn dish washing lotion. The Dawn makes it stick to the grass. I mowed it short yesterday late. I am killing all my bermuda grass in my yards. It will come back next year. Takes forever to mow the lawns having to sit down every 8 minutes and prop up my legs for a few.

Washed my back brace.

Sat in a chair in the front yard and used my shot gun to do a liitle practice ... shot towards the ground at piles of pinestraw mulch that I raked up over a year ago. I was busy pulling logs out of the woods and would have already been rid of the mulch a little later ... but got the harsh awakening to quit logging. I believe I will be able to go on bag it and haul it to garbage this fall.

My neighbor sent me a photo of a snake she killed today in her front yard. I was hoping to stir up one out of the piles of pine straw mulch with my shots today. I am begging for excitment. Do you hear me? She got her excitment today ... why not me??? LOL!

....
My sleep schedule always gets a bit wonky after flying and spending several days in a different time zone.....it's 3 a.m. and here I sit wide awake, bright eyed and bushy tailed.......which is a shame because it's WAY to early to do any of the things on my agenda today......

Drop off film at Costco, run to the bank, and stop at the post office. I guess while I'm waiting for those places to open I could unpack, throw in a load or two of laundry, and play online!
