I sure have been giving away money lately. I gave $357.81 to the repair shop yesterday. I’ll be giving around $200 to the repair shop (or some other one) within the next 2 weeks to get my front brakes replaced. And now tonite I spent just under $300.

Yesterday was a LONG, interesting, but fun day. The interesting started in the morning.

Then I stopped at Home Depot to get a chair for my balcony. I had planned on getting a couple of those stackable […]
