After a quiet weekend we had a Tuesday guest this week, then I went North to visit the little guy on Wednesday. Thursday we made a City provisioning run and Friday we recovered! Actually, Friday I did all our in town errands, which included paying taxes. Personal property and real estate taxes are due by the 31st so I made the trek into the County Courthouse and up to the second floor to make payment. Writing that check was a BIG chunk of change. Perosnal property taxes on ROADA are severe!
Speaking of ROADA in the midst of our week she got new shoes. MiRV ordered them last week and they called so he made the trek to get them installed. Only they were NOT the ones we ordered so she is waiting for replacements to arrive and switch her current new shoes for the right new shoes. The originally ordered Continental shoes are evidently no longer available. However, they failed to notify us of that little tidbit of information and just installed another tire that was suitable. Well, suitable according to who? Not their own website. Tire size matters! And this one is not a good fit for ROADA. She has special needs and is a high maintenance type of girl so we had to figure out another solution. Having her speedometer off was not really acceptable to MiRV nor were the other "differences" that may or may not be within a margin of error that is acceptable even if a Continental person says it's okay. Their own website did not back up his inof! So after A LOT of research on MiRVs part, several phone calls and moments of intense frustration we are hopeful that the new, new shoes that were ordered this time are available and will work for our girl. If you have some tire questions MiRV might be your guy. He had to become extremely tire proficient overnight because honestly you have to be your own advocate in everything nowadays or you might get screwed the wrong tires.
Quite looking forward to a quiet weekend. Then we will hopefully we welcoming the Northerns for a few days. Christmas with the family seems to be a go. Everyone is healthy and we are all excited to see each other and watch the Little ones . Looks like we will gather and enjoy a meal on Christmas Eve. We will do a small festive meal on Christmas Day and just enjoy the time together on both occasions.
Stay safe, stay well.
Stay safe,s tay well.
