🎂So here I am, another year older. The big 5-0. A day that could live in infamy, so to speak. It could be a good day or the end of the world™, depending on your perspective.
So what am I doing today? Probably not much. My car is currently sitting at a mechanic about 30 miles away, getting the catalytic converter changed out, for this is what ye olde mechanic claims to be the issue is. In a way, it makes sense; it sounded like it was gasping for air somewhat, and our educated guesses that it was something in the fuel system wasn't far off: it wasn't the fuel system, but close by in the exhaust.
My car, literally, was exhausted. Pardon the pun.
Of course, they had to order the thing, which means I'm without the car for a few days. But this just means I will stay out of trouble tonight.... I can walk to the grocery store for things I need (maybe I'll buy a cake mix? German Chocolate with that coconut frosting--yum! 😋)
And as you may guess, cat converters are hella expensive; so no wild parties for me tonight. Maybe I'll grab a bottle of mead from the grocery store when I wander up for that cake mix.

I took a big bowl of it up to the local hole-in-the-wall place to share with folks for a mug club thing, and they all seemed to enjoy it.
I'm glad there is one thing, at least, that I can do right.
In other, more exciting news, it looks like the youngin is coming to hang with us, at least over the summer! They're looking into jobs in this area and expect to be here the last part of March. The roomie and I need to straighten out the downstairs bedroom soon. He's wanting to run some ducts and whatnot and install the ceiling, and then all it will need is some paint and trim. I told him to let me know when he wants to get cracking on it; I know which end of the brush you put the paint on. He's also wanting to install stuff for a bathroom down there. This is a good idea. Just a matter of getting it all together....
At the moment, we're burying out from the snopocolpse™ the other day. Not the heaviest snow we've ever had, but bad enough the city issued no travel advisories. Usually we don't get that much at once, til at least late February. This may not bode well for the rest of the winter, if we're getting this much now.
Stay warm and toasty!
Aye,
Kraneia
