I really wasn't suggesting that you were putting it off, and if that's the way I came across, I apologize. I know you would never do that.

Good luck and my prayers are with you.

LOL I knew that.....I was just making sure everyone else did too. But I am a procrastinator at heart, so it can be hard to get myself going. And then my ADD kicks in and it's hard to keep on task. *sigh* lol

Take my daughter's advice when ADD kicks in - she goes for a run - - - - oh - - wait a minute - - - you have a bunch of snow - now she says walk around the house in the snow, then get back to work!!


She's a nut. Whenever her ADD kicked in - she went out, and ran around our mobile home 10 times.

I am thinking of getting rest over the three day weekend whoohoo
 
I may go to deaf club for St. Valentine party on Saturday.
 
Hubby and I might go out Saturday as it is our 17th wedding anniversary, then MIL has a dinner planned for Sunday.
 
I'm thinking that I did my neighborly duty for today. I shoveled out parking spots on the street for people who may need them :D
 
quirkylibra, you'll be instantly popular today!

It's cold and I'm lazy. Zzzzzzz. . . I can't get motivated today. I'm planning on domestic chores today.
 
Thinking my car is an expensive piece of crap!

It started running rough and almost died on me a few weeks ago. Hubbu took it to the shop today to see what was wrong. I basically need a tune-up. I just had one less than 3000 miles ago in Missouri and the car came down to Florida on a trailer, so no miles were added from the move. That tune-up cost me $486, this one they want to charge me $325. Hubby is going to try to do what he can, but just the spark plug wires alone are $100 for my car and it take double platinum spark plugs that are $10 each for 6 of them.

We just in October, replaced my started, alternator and batter as well as battery cables. That was $600. What gives!!!???

It's a 2002 Mercury Sable GS.
 
My old VW is still kicking. My dishwasher died, though. Hoping to resurrect the motor but it looks bleak. :(

I would replace the cam shaft sensor before tuning up again. It should only be $30-$40 for the part and it is VERY simple to replace.....eaiser than an oil change.

It's a frequent problem with Ford products between 2000 and 2004. It feels just like the car needs a tune up. If you have a shop do it they will want to replace the modulator too. Say no. :nono: That is very expensive and not necessary. You may have to replace the sensor every 6 months but again it is easy. You will have to go to a dealership to pick up a sensor. Regular auto parts stores do not carry them. They will even show you where it goes. Two screws and you are set.
