Send the cat after him...

Our mailboxes are just inside that door, the cat could be stalking the mailman in that picture.



Actually I was trying to get a picture of him going through that opening, but as long as I had the camera pointed at him, he stayed right inside the threshold. As soon as I took it from my eye, he dashed right out. Contrary little beasts...

Oh and Thursday my car blew up. Bad enough that when I called the dealer today, they said I'm getting a new engine.

Only 8000 miles on the car, so warranty is taking care of everything, including a loaner car while mine is in the shop. They said it'll be "a week to ten days" for them to get a long block from the factory. I was driving to work Thursday, pulled up to a stop light, and heard a "scrape scrape scrape scrape..." noise. I thought it was the car next to me, and I laughed at him. Then the light changed, and the noise stayed with me. Shit. That was about 8/10ths of a mile from work, and the noise got progressively worse as I went. There was no Check Engine warning light though, and it didn't seem to be down on power. I'm guessing it turned a bearing or maybe a wrist pin went. At 8K that would have to be a manufacturing defect, I haven't abused it.

But in the meantime I'm stuck in a Nissan Altima loaner car, and I hate it.

Morning. I did not want to get out of bed, but my cat kept pestering me to let him outside.

Daym I was thinking to buy Altima

Daym I was thinking to buy Altima

You may like it, just because I don't doesn't mean it's crap. It all depends on what you want from a car. The Altima seems competent enough, it's got decent accelleration. My objection is that, first of all, it's kind of big, it "floats" on the suspension like a big American car, the interior on the base model seems pretty cheap, and really there's just nothing about it For People Who Like Cars. As a transport appliance it's just fine.

It's got a continuously-variable transmission, which I've found kind of disconcerting at first.

After a couple of days my complete hatred of this car is softening, and the "big car float" thing isn't as noticeable to me now as it was the first time I drove it Thursday evening. But boy my VW sure will feel good to me when I get it back.

I'm off to watch the fights tonight! I ran stairs today...my legs are shaking.

 

[Mr. dB]

Yay yay home from work yay!

 

[Mr. dB]

Woke up at noon. Wonder how long I'd have slept if the cat hadn't started pestering me for food?
