Hey guys how are you’ll doing?
Unfortunately, I had to leave my car at the shop.
I had my clutch pedal that did not come back anymore. I had hoped it was the cable, but it is not.
It’s the clutch’s bearing gone. They are going to replace everything. Hope it’s not too much.
I cannot complain though. After all the car is a 2001 piece of junk and it has never let me on foot.
The good thing is that I have to walk/run to the shop 3.7 miles, and doing that in a beautiful place like the one I happens to live is just a pleasure.
I have noticed that walking allows you to see things that driving does not.
For instance, yesterday as I was headed to the mechanic, over a huge piece of rock, there were several grey herons perched on tree’s branches. They made me smile.
The day was sunny like LA. It was stunning beauty.
That’s it. Bye! thanks
I always forget to check the search tool out before writing.
I have found two podcast for when you are having problem with your car 530 and 70
Listening n. 70 it’s kind of odd. Jeff sounds kinds of stiff there.
Anyway, ihave learned to say that I ask how much it would set me back and he said €300,00.
thanks
Here is a suggestion for a future pod.
When you have problems with the central heating system. Or, for when the technician come to check the hot-water heating system.
Over here we have to have it checked every two years mandatory. And the fumes as well.
Thanks
Hey,
Is Thanksgiving week.
I am wondering if Lucy is going to post that lovely cartoon of the poor turkey.
Have a happy thanksgiving week guys.
It has been a sad little week. I m here at this station for a breather. I used to be a kin listener of this program, but no anymore. U know, back then , I would think eslpod were gonna be my pal for the foreseeable future. But, life barley turns out the way one wants to be,as life Has its turns and twists. U arrive somewhere. You get comfirtable. You starting to know the Lay of the land ; learning the ropes , finding your feet , getting the bearings of the land , then all of a sudden , the ground beneat you shift and leaves u all stranded.
It is a sad little reality most of us has suffered through once your twice in life.
Well , I m not a party popper
I m just saying
Hi, me again, sorry.
If you guys wanna see a great show check out MST3K Mystery Science Theater 3000
Tons of episodes easily available online. Great show.
They show really bad movies with the commentary of three funny people. Love it.
I got to know about this show from a guy on Y.Tube I subscribed to. Cool guy.
He said that he used to see this show on thanksgiving. I have already watched several episodes and those are all great entertainment.
Not easy to understand though.
Thanks, bye!
Hey Pete,
What happened? Reality check?
Do not let that put you down, it’s normal and happens to everyone.
It happens to me all the time. Just lower your expectations and get used to it.
Thanks
