January Update

Where have I been? Good question. I've been here, but either there wasn't anything to write about or I just didn't feel like writing about it. And no, there is nothing wrong with me, except the usual wintertime blues that happens to so many this time of the year.

I didn't feel like driving my car too far from home until it was fixed, so that meant no road trips to report on. The holidays were busy times and even though it was nice, I just didn't have time or the desire to write about it.

But thanks to Randy and Autumn, the car is once again functioning properly, for the most part, and I've even managed to drive to Vevay within the last week or so. Mom's birthday (86th) was the 8th, so I went down last Friday to take her out for lunch. Of course a trip to Wal-Mart was part of the deal so it ended up taking most of the day.

My sister Judy went along when we went to eat at Jewell's On Main in Warsaw, KY, but she didn't feel like making the trip to Madison for the Wal-Mart run. Can't say I blame her for that, I would have gotten out of it myself if at all possible.

Ordered and received the pair of hubs for the rear wheels on the car, so once the time is right and the weather decides to stay warm, they will be installed. Not a bad deal as I got both for $79.95 shipped and that includes a 2 year warranty.

The place I got them, 1AAuto on the web, even provides videos on how to change them out. It looks to be easy enough to do, so hopefully that can be accomplished before too long. I think if it makes a big difference I may go ahead and order ones for the front as well, but that can wait a bit.

The weather has been a little odd, after a couple of days of 60 degree high's, woke up this morning to 20 degrees showing on the Weatherbug app. Brrrrr, that's quite a change. I wanted to stay curled up in my bed where it was warm, but I got up instead.
