We can drive with the top down! Chanelle loves to sit on the console in the middle or lay stretched out in her seat, catching some sun. I think she likes the convertible as much as I do.
So thankful and blessed to have the car. Gas mileage is awesome compared to the Expedition! Plus, it's a lot of fun to cruise in. lol. Tabs are good til next June; we are still working on the title part. {Soon, so I can get insurance in my name}.
My amazing son spent 4 almost 5 hours working on it Sunday, finding and fixing the oil leak. Only to discover the drain plug is stripped so we couldn't do a proper oil change. I need to call a shop and find out how much it's going to cost to fix that.
Pretty sure he found the leak; it was with the sending unit. Thankfully I had bought a new one and the evidence suggests that the leak {at least in part} was coming from the old one.
We also couldn't do the pan gasket, until I get a few more parts. The exhaust is right under the pan and will have to be removed, so there are gaskets to replace putting that back together too. And of course, the rear turn signal is still having issues. I'm thinking I need to get a new light socket thing and possibly some fuses and a flasher switch.
I can't complain. It was a gift! It had been sitting for a long time, so I knew there would be a few issues to fix. It's kinda funny how all the kids said, "It suits me", when they looked at it. I think it does too. White of course seems to be my car color. Most of the vehicles I've had lately have all been white.
Temperatures have been rising, hitting the 80's and hopefully coming into the 90's soon. I personally love the hot weather. Finally get to thaw out my bones. Speaking of bones, I finally went to the doctor for my left ankle. Seems there is some things going on in there as a result of previous injuries. Pain pills, physical therapy and possible surgery coming my way. Yuk!
At least it doesn't affect me riding my horse. No jumping of course, but trail rides are still in the game. Working on getting my friend and her horse warmed up for the adventures. Then we'll be hitting the trails. Looking forward to those days. It's been a while since I've been able to take my horse out on the trails. We both miss it I think. She loves to go places and explore new sights. Particularly the ocean.
I'm looking for a little pouch to put Chanelle in so she can go riding too. I would hate to leave her behind for all day excursions. I think she would enjoy being with us. Just have to find a good one, that I can wear while riding. I don't want the backpack type, it's gotta be a front pouch. Good ole Amazon will probably have what I'm looking for.
Still no word on the 'move' yet. They said they would keep me in the loop, but I haven't heard anything from any direction recently. Last I heard the goal was mid-July, well that is coming up next week and I'm sure I'm going to get a bit of a notice in advance, so I can get things packed up and services changed over. ? I pray about it, wondering if God is changing their plans into something even better.
I will go where God wants me to go. My faith and trust is in Him. The many miracles and blessings I've received this year alone, make me want to do what pleases God even more than ever before. I've been pretty blessed throughout most of my life. Many many miracles have happened and I'm so grateful for all of it. The future looks bright, even though I can't see it. New printer and my machines are with me. I can finally get back into production as well as all the other things I do for work.
Life's good! Praise God.
