For What It’s Worth                                                                   - 47 Days and Counting Down

Auto Body Repairs

Recently I came out of a shopping mall and discovered a dent in my right rear wheelwell on my Porsche 911 Carrera.  My baby that I keep in tip top shape had taken a direct hit which was estimated to be about $2000 worth of damage repairs.  Unfortunately it is a unibody type of vehicle and it was not an option to get a new fender, so needless to say I was not a very happy camper about the entire situation.  It is scheduled to be completed today, so I can go inspect it and pick it up and take it back home to be bedded down in it’s garage. I hope they did some good work because I am pretty picky when it comes to these kind of things and I will be doing a thorough Quality Assurance inspection prior to me taking it home.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed that it all comes out okay and I am happy with the work completed.

Weather and the Autumn Season

It rained again here last night, but not as heavy as the other night.  I believe we have only had two days of rain for as long as I can remember this year.  That has been really good for me since I have been riding my bicycle most everyday to and from work for my daily exercise.  The outside temperature has also dropped from the high 80’s down to the comfortable lower 70s and below, which is nice.  We don’t get much of an autumn season here in Southern California, so the cooler weather is a welcomed change for us.  We usually go up to the base of the mountains to the Oak Glen area, which is full of apple orchards and deciduous trees, so we can enjoy the beauty of all of the autumn colors.  We hope to be in the New England area next year to enjoy the color palette there since I have heard so much about it all my life.  I have also heard that the automobile traffic there is quite heavy at that time, so maybe we need to find a way of avoiding all of the traffic.  Anyone who has any good suggestions, we definitely welcome your input.
