Will see if there's anything reparable, and I can identify tomorrow (provided it doesn't rain).

yea double to check to make sure the thingamabob, is still connected to the whatchamacallit and the dohickey is within spec

Yes I get that - old cars are not cheap. But if you had the BA card - your car could have contributed to a trip overseas. :) :D :p

You might laugh but when I had the Charger there was indeed a linkage that would separate every half year or so - I'll be looking to see if anything's cracked or irregular.

I still carry a Driver's Edge Charter MasterCard (was a Ford card from 1995 until they discontinued the program in 1998). Gives me 2% cash back when I do buy each replacement vehicle - new or used, dealer or private seller - and I keep it because it's my second oldest credit line. Entirely paid for a Camry wagon when I lived in VA and a motorcycle when I lived in Maryland (before I went to mileage cards).

I usually follow her around with a piece of newspaper hoping I can get her to spew on it instead of on the floor.

That sound/dance has woken me from a dead sleep before.....ick!

I'm on a holding pattern on ordering my new bed but I have very excellent pillowcases for my existing one. Yes, pillowcases are the best part of my current bed.
