85F, overcast, windy, but no more humid than the Gulf coast normally is. That was yesterday, and hopefully today. Theme parks in the broiling sun are no fun, and if the wind gets too strong, they shut down rides.
We had a nice day yesterday. Pretty calm and relaxed,with the second half in airconditioning…
Today we’ll be outdoors a lot. I’m hoping for Goldilocks conditions again. I haven’t been to this park in at least 25 years, so we’ll see how we like it. Then it’s moving to another city for a couple of days. It’s going to be a long day today.
I wouldn’t say I’m having fun, but I am enjoying most of it. The kids surprised me at the museum, so I’m learning and growing… and that’s a good thing.
Stack.

Thursday. Good morning!
I hope you do enjoy your trip, Nick. It doesn’t sound awful. I usually find the worst part of any trip is working myself up to actually leave home…
Busy days at the moment. Another vehicle needs its roadworthiness check today. Yesterday’s was a pass, and I hope today’s will be too. Toyotas are generally reliable and trouble-free, so I am confident, even though today’s car is probably twenty years old or more. It has been driven little and carefully maintained mechanically. I even gave it a clean, contrary to my usual policy of neglecting polish and not wasting potable water. Cross your fingers!
Honestly, I’m surprised that he was so honest.
Honest, or stupid? Or perhaps clever and calculating enough to get out of further jury duty by saying that…
We’ll never know.
Mild bad news. W1’s Yaris failed its inspection. The plastic headlights have gone a bit opaque through age and UV. Apparently it was enough to interfere with the necessary measurements. The guy said to polish them up and come back… I was going to do just that, but now it is raining outside like a cow watering a flat rock. Bah.
Yes. Or just trade it in and let it be the next guy’s problem.
I don’t know. That was at a dealership the auto group I worked for at the time had just purchased, and I was doing a quick survey. I left shortly after so never had a chance to dig in. It honestly could have been either one. That dealership’s tech setup ( a Ford) was ancient.
Bless your heart. Why even post if you don’t want a discussion? Oh, that’s right, I know.
Up, fed, packed, moving toward the car. A day of theme park adventure awaits.
40% overcast, no rain in the forecast,so that’s good.
Springhill Suites by Marriott has a nice free breakfast, including meat eggs and waffles.
Time to go!
