Terry Jacks – Seasons In The Sun. It’s hard to die keeps ringing in my head. I wish I could hear the birds.

I miss this and right now I need it
Some what like what I am dealing with

The mechanic just left
One of the things that got me down was last Thursday the car died as I was driving home. The car had been acting up and we were planing to have it checked when Ron got paid. The car did not give us that time. I was lucky in that when it died I was able to coast on to a side street that was safer and better than being on the main road. But there is bad news. Remember when the Ford dealership told us we would need a new engine for $10 grand, well they were premature but it may come to that.
What the mechanic told us is that the timing chain broke. There are three sprockets. The bad news is it is not just the timing chain that went. I don’t understand it but because of what the top three sprockets do somehow that made the pistons and values all crash into each other. That means engine seized. It is going to be an expensive fix.
Now for the worse news. The guy that came and who has fixed our car before can’t fix it. Because the way they get to the engine is they unbolt it and then raise the body with a car lift. He doesn’t have one. So he is looking around to find out who can fix it. We have no clue as to what it will cost. So that is one thing getting me down. Best wishes for everyone and hugs to those that want them. Hugs

Sorry struggling to function. Spent the entire morning barely watching news unable to deal with everything. Decided to instead do what I enjoy. I took one of my computers apart to check it, and did a clean on both. I wish I could explain. Hugs.
