In and out

We got our tax refund. A nice chunk of change. I hoped that we would be able to hold on to most of it, to get ahead and stay ahead for once.

But it seemed to be a good idea to take the car in for a check-up. It hadn't had a problem for about three years now, but the power steering had started making an unpleasant groaning noise once in a while. A once-over from Teri's mechanic seemed to be a wise precation.

$1,277.00 later...oh, what's the point? I'm sure you all saw that coming. And in truth, it could have been worse.

Yeah, better an empty wallet than wrapped around a tree.

Actually, the power steering was fine. Go figure.

But the battery had to be replaced. And all the brakes needed...something. A full transmission flush was needed. I can't remember what else.
