Fruit And Stuff

How was YOUR day? Today I found this great deal ($8) for this whole box of organic nectarines. Got some cherries too.
I love fruit.

I drove to Bend yesterday, where I lived before I moved to Portland. Bend is located in Central Oregon, about a three hour drive East from Portland. When I go there I usually think.....why did I move away from here again? My mechanic, who is also my friend lives there and I have a room full of my stuff in Bend (storage). I dug through a few boxes and brought some clothes and some other stuff. with me back to Portland.
My car got an oil change, a new oil filter too of course. A new ball joint was put it and a new fan clutch. I like having a mechanic that allows me to be present in the shop so I can watch, learn and participate in minor car things. I have an older car and there is always something that needs to be fixed. Next on the to do list are front brakes and the air vents got something going on with them too. I do not pay much attention to cars (as in my own car), I am happy as long as I can safely go from point A to point B. It does not bother me that I have an older car that has dents and is far from a luxury vehicle. I don't care. My car has taken me across Nevada and Oregon and for that I am grateful. I can sleep in it and it is comfortable.

Car issues are stressful and about an hour into the drive home to Portland the check engine light came on. I did notice a change in how my car was driving yesterday, after it got out of the shop (of course) and I will get it checked out tomorrow, so I am stressed about that now. Of course the check engine light came on after I had already left. Sometimes it comes on because a gas station attendant did not screw the gas cap on right (you are not allowed to pump your own gas in some places in Oregon - kind of strange) and I was hoping it was as simple as that but NO. Something is not right. That will be on tomorrow's to do list. I also have a lunch meeting and I really need to do laundry.
