What are you doing?

[Pohjolas Daughter]

The US Open women's final has just started:  Sabalenka vs. Pegula.   

They'll be warming up shortly.

    The transmission on our 2007 VW Rabbit has been replaced and the car drives smoothly now.

    The VW Golf was renamed Rabbit for a couple of years. It's the same car.

I'm remembering driving a friend's VW Sirocco from the Bay Area to his mom's house in Lake Tahoe, back in 1986. It was the most fun l ever had driving, as the car was so much better than my own POS.

I'm remembering driving a friend's VW Sirocco...

Which prompted me to put my proud father hat on and boast about my daughter's Sirocco, which she has rebuilt almost from the tyres up, customised to within an inch of its life, and which now wins awards at car shows:

Although what I'm actually doing is enjoying a rather good pint while packing up camping kit for a week away in mid-Wales.

Just got home from getting a haircut (ugh, it had been at least 6 weeks -- I feel so much better).

Also got a few errands run, including checking my mailbox and finding the car license plate renewal sticker I have been waiting for in the mail. (my plates expired Aug 31, so I have been driving around only when strictly necessary)

 



ETA: Just checked my records. 10 weeks since a haircut!

Cool looking car!  Did she do all the work herself (and with a few friends when needed)?

I really need to get mine cut (has been way longer than 10 weeks).  It's long but now getting unwieldy!

EDIT:  Helped out a friend of mine for a bit today whose basement rec room flooded about a month ago.   He's subscribed to a number of hiking/climbing magazines plus audio ones over the years.  Also had stored a ton of his kids' stuff down there.  Well, as you might have guessed, a lot of that stuff is getting tossed.  God, does it ever reek of mold! :-(

Glad not to be alone. I only get it cut every 2-3 months, usually when I start brushing it off my ears.

Earlier today I went to the UPS Store to pick up three used books I had ordered. When I got home and started tearing open the packages, I realized they had given me the wrong one. My mailbox number has a 25 in it, and they gave me one from box 26.

Ugh, so I had to drive back over there and swap them out. Plus, the actual owner of whatever I received now has a package that was torn open. The shop started taping it up as I left, but I was kinda curious what they will say to that person about why it was torn.

Riding to work.

The final scene of Wagner's Tannhäuser started up while l was waiting for the taxi, so he's keeping me company for the trip.

Telling the truth would be their best option, methinks.
