Sorry for the short notice, but I'm forced to cancel my trip.

Garage door broke at 5pm and I've been dealing with my auto repair shop trying to get the heater hose and fan replaced. No one had the damn hose in stock and they can't get it until Weds morning. Sorry, but I'm not driving around in 5 degree weather with no heat.

For those who had scheduled with me, I will honor your requests and give a wonderful discount after the new year.

Again, very sorry and I look forward to making it up to you.

Thanks for letting us know MsElena. Hope things go better for you. Heat in a car is no fun, especially driving that far.

Have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and happy new year

Thank you Oenghus.

Yeah, I wasn't happy when I started up the car yesterday morning. Then the garage door? Usually my Mondays go pretty good, but not this one. Although I am glad it happened before I had left town and not while I was in KC. That drive home would've been horrid.

MsElana, I hope things turn around for you. You have heard the old saying, "everything comes in threes" though?

MsElena · 12-14-2010, 08:47 AM

Kid,

Its not that bad really, just an inconvenience. Things could be worse, trust me. I'm just grateful for what I have, who I have in my life and my health. There's a lot of people out there that have it a lot worse than I do.

Thank you though.

It'll get better.

Muff,

Well, the garage door is fixed. It was a couple of the springs and the main lock on the door. Now, I'm just waiting to pick up my lil baby (car) tomorrow and I'll be set.

When I was younger we had one of those get loose in our garage, that was the weirdest sound I had ever heard at that point. Somehow, despite two cars being in said garage, there was only minor damage to the door itself and the toolbox it lodged itself in (but not too far).

Dang it. There goes the Christmas present I had planned. I wonder if Tivol takes returns?

Oh you so lie!!

But, just in case you're telling the truth....as I said in my first post, I'll be down after the 1st of the year.
