So, I took the car out for a test drive and hit the highway for a short distance. It reaches the right speed and the rpm's aren't alarming but higher than I'd like.
So, I'm going to go ahead an reserve a rental for the next road trip. That's okay, the rental will have air conditioning.
Pretty sure the problem is a vacuum problem but i can't track it down. There is a new auto shop which just opened a few blocks away. I'll drop it off sometime and see if they can locate the problem. Until then, the car is okay for driving around town and lesser distances. Might be a few weeks before I can do that. It will be okay until then. I could afford it now but don't want to dip too far into the savings I've compiled.
My savings have remained static for a number of weeks now. I could have added more to it but I did spend more money than originally intended on the XBox, extra peripherals and games.
First ripe tomato of the season from the garden is red but I still left it out one more day so it will get more red. After this there is another turning and I'm sure many more will be following in short order.
Checked the cucumber plants to make sure I did no damage while stringing them up on the trellis. They look good! Lots of little cucumbers which are getting larger. Lots of flowers which will become cucumbers later. Next year I may lay down more plastic where I plant them just to keep the soil moisture up and the weeds at bay.
