Mmmm, yes.

so. plans for today.

drink more water
go to farmer's market
see where folks want to meet up for lunch
maybe i'll shower first... though it *is* pouring, maybe not.
nah, i should. just to make sure i don't reek of last night's drinking festivities

car's issue? water pump. honestly, we thought this needed to go LAST year, but they said no. so this should clear up any last worries about it. i though we *did* replace it, but i can't find any bills indicating such. my memory's not so hot and boy says we didn't. i think it runs on the same belt as the stuff we replaced last year, which is why i assumed it would go sooner or later. i assume they'll get it done today since they called at 10.

woke up at 6:30 today because of sinus pain... it took awhile for the naproxen to kick in, but i eventually fell back asleep and slept til the mechanics called.

shower shower shower

It does run on the same belt, and on many cars, the water pump has to come off in order to replace the belt, so on cars where said water pump is a cheap part, it's normally replaced with the belt. So you may well remember discussions about it and removing it if the belt was changed.

take it from someone who knows...

if you have to get a new timing belt/chain you should also get a new water pump EVEN if you don't think it needs it.

I went through a water pump, then a timing belt and a water pump, and a water pump. Any issues about the car you have, my boi pretty much knows everything about them and how to fix them, cheaply at that.
