Poor Me

It seems I've had the Sea Monkeys up for nearly a week. Time for an update. Though the Monkeys are cool, and much bigger now. Very active. Who needs a lava lamp? I have brine shrimp.

The "poor" in the title? That's literally poor, as in I have no money.

So what I thought would happen, did. We spent a pot of money getting the house prettied up. Then I started to hear a hum in the front end of the car. By yesterday, I was afraid to drive it, it was so loud. I could feel the vibrations in the gas pedal.

DH took it to local guy (actually, there are quite a few guys working there) and we ended up having to get new bearings on the front end. Apparently, when Canadian Tire did the brakes, the tie rod (I think) and one of the bearings for us several months ago, not only did they leave the tie rod (I think) so loose that it ended up knocking around, but they screwed up the bearing as well. Do not go to Canadian Tire for repairs, at least not to the one near me.

So we spent more money. But! It was the amount of money the guy said it was going to cost. And! It was done when he said it would be done.

Hooray for local guy!

Seana <-- big fan of local guy.
