Help is on the way!
Some sources faster than others:
My never-ending car saga, aka "I'm So Tire-d," should finally be coming to a close tomorrow. It should have done so yesterday, given that I gave the place two hours to either get one tire repaired or two replaced. It took that long to tell me they could do neither: the right rear has two nails in it in spots precluding patching, and the brand and size they'd recommended (and priced out) for me in May had been discontinued, with nothing else in my size available, either.
After court today (with prayers the PSIs would hold- and they did:), I went back to the guy I usually see there and told him the tale. He gave me a choice: either he would drive out to Brockport (a good two hour round trip) to get back the ones they'd 86'd, or he'd put on a better rated pair for the same price- and he'd do either tomorrow.
I went with the latter. So by this time tomorrow I should be less leaky.
----
As for being more sparky: that will be Thursday. My longtime electrician client will be here that afternoon and will stop over to make the needed connections so the cooktop can get cooking.
----
The final fix won't be for a few weeks, at least, due to some other Mysterious Plans of ours, but our landlines are going to be coming out. One of the last straws was having some asshat remodeler calling repeatedly on the home landline this afternoon. Its caller ID was spoofed to 000-000-0000. I dealt with it thus:
Me: ::silence::
Him: He-loooooo!
Me: He-loooooo!
Him: Am I speaking to the homeowner?
Me: No, I'm a burglar, breaking in. You might want to call 911.
::click::
In some sick, sad way? I may actually miss some of these;)
