So I made an appointment to come in and get it checked out. They said it would take 2-3 hours. I brought a book and my Fountain Pen Shawl which I was working on at the time. It took at least 5-6 hours with no solution. o.0
Finally all 5 of the lights that came on were on at once. Plus the fan for the air conditioning didn't work then either. I was in the big city, so I drove it in to the dealership service department and they asked if I had time to wait. I told them no I have to get to work. I knew if they waited to long the lights would be off and the opportunity would be lost and I was on my way to a rant. The service man was just smart enough to realize he had a woman about to explode and asked what I wanted done. I told them to read the code from the lights so we could find out what is going on. o.0
It took them 5 minutes total to get the machine, plug it into the car and wait for the results. Can you tell my why they wanted me to wait for that?? o.0
So we made an appointment. I took the car in and got it fixed. It needed a new starter switch.
Okay. I brought the car home, filled it with gas and put it in the garage. Got out of the car and heard this loud whooshing sound. Yes. Tire going flat. o.0
Took the car to our local gas station and had the tire repaired. Went back later that evening to get the car. Window was rolled down. Key forward. Battery mostly dead. Just enough juice to close the window and lock the doors. The gas station was closed for the night. o.0
Went back the next day and the battery had recovered enough to start the car. On DH's advice I drove around for 1/2 hour to recharge the battery.
Finally got my car home after having lights on in dash, flat tire and dead battery. 3 things. That should do it right? I hope so.
On the knitterly front this is what the Norwegian Woods Shawl looks like now:
A closeup of the beads I'm adding.
It didn't call for beads there but I'm experimenting.
I've got about 1/2 of the 2nd repeat of the 2nd chart left. It's moving right along even if I'm not knitting every day!
And weatherwise, we've had cool fall weather and now this:
Nice warm temperatures.....
Clear skies and a little wind. Just the right thing for harvest. :)
/can't get the words and the pictures to stay together. blogger drives me nuts sometimes. o.0
