    Afternoon ladies
    Phew what a day....
    Im tired ,went over to the dealership to take a test drive.. which I did..just the right size..
    Has what i need..
    I signed nothing.. got a print out for buying or lease but both with trading in my car rather than selling.
    My thing is I just want something that has the safety features that will keep me and whomever in the car safe and ,better gas mileage, and with what I put down for a lease .I can get it for 102.00 a month.
    That is very doable for me
    Will check on the insurance and taxes

    I think I fixed the check engine. When I took it in it was off so there was nothing they could do. It does not have a gas cap but I sensed the flap was loose. It is a seven year old car. I took Press and Seal to seal off the intake where you put in gas. The check engine light went off. If your check engine light goes off checking the gas cap is the first thing they tell you to do. Press and Seal works better than regular plastic wrap to give a better seal. I may put a rubber band around it too. Saves me over 200 dollars. It was going to be 180 just to diagnose the problem.

    I think the check engine light in our van has been on for about 6 years. We've had it in to be checked a few times, and they say it's OK.

    Annie- dh has cameras set up all over MIL's house. He can watch her on his phone, where ever he is. He can be at work and just check on her. This has really helped. Before setting them up, he would be worried about her the whole time he wasn't there. Now, in seconds, he can check and see exactly what she is doing/where she is
    He has them around the outside and a few inside of our house too. Not thrilled with the one in the living room- don't want him watching me when I don't realize it. He can see how long I am playing on the computer ;)

    Had a pretty light Halloween, only about 35 kids. Vince told me that a kid about 12 came to the door at 9:30 asking for candy. He told the kid “we’re closed, no more candy”. We did have some left over. Trusting me thought that he was probably there just to get more candy thinking at the end people want to get rid of what they had. Vince said that the father was on the sidewalk. I was talking to a lady at BK today and she said (which trusting me never thought of) that Vince probably did the right thing. In today’s age, that kid might very well have been there to try to get in the house. Which makes sense. We’re elderly. I did find out (we’ve only lived here 15 years and I’m just now finding this out) that every Halloween Vince sits in the office. I didn’t know it but he has a gun on the printer that he can just grab if some kid tries to get in the house.

    Sorry I haven’t been in much lately. Every time I try to log in, I kept getting a 404 message. Finally I used Microsoft Edge and was able to get in enough to log food.

    1. Make a list of new things you want to do this month.

    I have a massive list of things to do. Always. I'm never bored.

    In November, however, we're organising a cycling event mid-month, and then there's another one right at the beginning of December.

    My garden needs mid-spring work.

    I need more mid-spring exercise.

    Lots of things!!
