      Boy howdy, yesterday was quite a trying morning. I got off work at 6:60 AM as per usual but needed to kill an hour before the Honda service center opened up at 7:30. All I thought I needed was an oil change for about $50.00.... Did my day go to Hell from there!

      To make a short story long I needed a few items from Wally World so I went there. Socks, gloves, a pair of work britches and some knee pads and I was in line to get my oil changed... 7:20 AM and 3rd in line.

     Once they get that done, they do a "Multiple Point Inspection" and find that after only 21,000 miles my tires are shot. I tell Goober, "Go ahead and replace 'em". Later he tells me I need both front and rear end alignment because you need that when you get new tires. I say "Do it".
     After all is said and done, my $43.97 oil change became a $828.09 oil and tire change.

     All I can say is I am happy I had my Bible with me to read during the 4 hour ordeal. I read 20 chapters of Proverbs and had time to meditate on each and every one. Had I not have had "The Good Book" with me and the Holy Spirit by my side I would have most likely snapped well  before getting back in the driver's seat. At any rate, I slugged down at least $1.00 worth of their coffee.


     That was yesterday, today I got home at more or less my usual time. Biscuit, my semi feral Tomcat had brought me a present whilst I was at work. A lovely headless field mouse! He wasn't home when I arrived but he left it so I could not miss it... right at the front door. he did show up a bit later and I fed him and thanked him for his loving gift, told him it was too much and he could eat the rest of the critter should he so desire.
     He loves his Pawpaw!
