RN My brain is full. Mrs Mack got a new car yesterday and today has been setting all the systems up for cell phone, for radio stations, for seat setting, etc., etc. It not only has all the bells and whistles but actually the whole darn orchestra. Owner’s manual is good but having YouTube has saved us a lot of time. When I say today I mean like several hours. Of course we repeated for me the second driver…..which is kind funny as I rarely drive her cars.

It is kind of fun. It’s a 2026 model built in Georgia in mid July and only had 11 miles on it. 25 now but that was what it was from the dealer to our garage. Mrs Mack is off until Wednesday next week but she’s already looking forward to driving it to work. It wasn’t like her old car was a beater but it was out of warranty and now was the time.

RN How wonderful! My last new car was in 2005, and the CD player was exciting for me. LOL
RN Check this out. I was doing a virtual drive to the house I'm looking at Tuesday, and this is what's on the corner where I turn to get to the house. It's 3 side streets from the house. Literally walking distance!

RN This was kind of an end of career buy. As long as Mrs Mack is driving 22 miles each way on a very busy highway we want her to have the best and safest car within reason. We’re getting close to the “last car” age. My 2020 Explorer thanks to Covid and my retired status only has 11000 miles so while I might like a new car I don’t need it. It has sufficient bells and whistles to help me drive and has been garaged since day one so it is in great condition.

RN Just finished another batch of Mack’s home ground hamburger. This was a small batch, only six pounds. Normally I do about ten pounds or more but Sam’s had a sale on Angus chuck roast and I still had five pounds in the freezer. Had tacos last night using one of the previously packed and frozen ground hamburger. Since I vacuum pack each pound they stay usable for months. We use maybe three pounds a month so rarely does the hamburger go more than three months in the freezer.

RN, I am terribly tired and quite hungry. I think dinner just might be leftover cold Shake -N- Bake chicken breast and cheesy potatoes.
Assuming I can muster enough energy to stop watching reruns of The Closer and get out of my rocker/recliner.

RN I took my dishwasher apart because the top dishes weren't being washed. I don't know what I'm doing. The inside parts are all over the kitchen. I'm trying to follow a video.

RR I just loaded it up with the dirty dishes. I'll know in about an hour whether I fixed it or not.

RN I think I need to do one more load of dishes to be sure, but so far so good! The top rack seems clean. At least I was able to put it back together without extra pieces left over. LOL

RN Remember when I said a young couple was charging so little for dog babysitting that I lost a couple clients to them? Well one just came back! I'm trying to find out why.

RN, I'm impressed with your bravery and success with dishwasher repair Naja.
I was pleased with myself when I was able to finally unclog the downstairs toilet with dish soap. I certainly would not be confident taking apart the dishwasher.
