Starting with buying the Lincoln Mark VIII that I mentioned earlier in the week. Friday was pretty well tied up with test driving the car in the morning, negotiating a price and making a trip to the credit union for a check to pay for it.
In the afternoon I took the car for the required state safety and emissions tests and when the inspector declared the tie rods faulty, I took the car to Pep Boys for the parts replacement and alignment. That work got done while the BSU and I went to see 12 Rounds, an action adventure, revenge motivated brilliant bad guy vs. the hard working cop movie.
Saturday I took the ultra smooth sandpaper and the polishing compound to the headlights and managed to get them shiny and see-through again as they were pretty hazy. I also bought a new ground cable for the battery but is 56" long and reaches way under the engine someplace so that replacement will have to be done another day. And Monday I can go buy the license plates and the car will be completely registered and legal.
Saturday the BSU and I got out again, this time to see Knowing. This one's a Nicholas Cage movie that's a cross of X Files and 4th of July and turns into a end-of-the world crisis flick. Nick does his usual, frozen faced acting in spite of the tragedy going on around him and you have to suspend any kind of fact based belief but it is a pretty exciting thriller.
So, snow today, lots of wet snow making visibility lousy on the way to church. More snow is predicted tonight and throughout the week so there may be limited scooter riding. I do have an appointment to get the pinstripe decals replaced with real paint on Thursday so I hope I can ride it then without arousing suspicion of the BSU.
And now it's very nearly bedtime!
