I think there’s something supernatural going on with the Holloways’ cars. Both times that I visited their house to fix things on the vehicles, first a headlight on their Mercedes that was definitely out and yesterday a transmission leak on their minivan–the problems had completely gone away. A few weeks ago I showed up, headlight in hand for the replacement job, and never got the chance, since the headlight worked faultlessly. And yesterday, after diagnosing a rather problematic transmission leak, the underside of the engine was bone dry when I shined the shoplight around last night. Took it for a test drive and it performed great, no missed shifts, no hesitation. I’m still going to take the car to my favorite little transmission shop tomorrow to have it scoped out by some pros, but in the meantime… Yeah. Amazing stuff.<\/p>\n
What’s everybody doing for Thanksgiving? Our family is driving just down the road to my grandmother’s place in Raleigh, after she insisted on cooking this year, something that most are of the opinion is a very bad idea, but what Gran wants Gran gets, most of the time at least. It’ll be a relatively small shindig compared to most years when my parents’ house is packed out with friends and relatives. I think my mom is going to cook a good bit of the meal, and good thing too, since’s long since surpassed Gran’s cooking ability. Should be fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
