Not much else this week, except the car. Last Sunday it seemed to be making rubbing or pulsing noises or some sort, mostly when turning left, and it got worse rapidly. By Monday, it was sounding horrible and the noises elevated to what Beth called 'grinding,' so I called Boggs to get it in and see what's what. I was hoping it was something like worn blah blah blahs that are easy to replace, but no. It is the rear differential, had "let go" according to them, and needed to be replaced along with the drive shaft assembly. Not an easy job or a fast one. It is going to take about a week and cost about $2750. Sigh. Not what I need right now. So we're down a car. Good thing Alex has his back home.
Soup season has started in earnest! Washing jars mostly so far, doing inventory and shopping. It's already apparent that we haven't set aside enough over the past year to pay for getting everything started up. Oh well, next year, I guess.
