Car's Fixed

Maybe.

We tried a new mechanic. Mechanics come in The Flavor of The Day.

A mechanic will do good work for a while, then he goes down hill. Don't know why. That's the way it is.

My friend Keith the Car Guy frequently uses mechanics because he buys cars for people and gets maintenance on the cars before he turns them over to the buyer. Plus, he is the resource for getting your car fixed and he will supervise the repairs if he got the car for you.

So all in all, he knows about more mechanics from here to David that anyone. He will find a good one...for a while...then the mechanic will go south and start to do bad work.

I don't know what part of the culture produces this phenomena but it is common.

The mechanic we used, now on the "I'm doing great work" part of the cycle, went through ALL the electronics, and cleaned and re-connected them.

We drove the car for about 2 hours this morning and all is well.

Poor Keith. Every time he sees my phone number come up on his phone, he cringes thinking my car is broken again.

We went to Olga's for breakfast and ended up eating with some good friends. The food was great as always and the company was even better.

This is football playoff Sunday. I am going to watch the San Diego Chargers this afternoon. Now that we get US TV, I can do that!!!!

It is the small things in life that make a huge difference!

Hi Werder,

just got back to Lucknow,so I have internet, and it was great to get caught up on your blog. sounds good to me. I saw Brandon, and had half a great time. the other half I was just wrong, and pissing him off. oh well. it made me sad. guess it must be karma for when I used to think I 'knew' him. so THIS is how it feels! I don't want anybody to feel like this. Glad Your bike and car are both working at the same time... that's a really good thing. I am having a great time with my little Indian buddies. Love You, Tom.

Great to hear from you!

That knowing business is a tough one, for sure. It is probably inevitable that Brandon locks horns with you...after all you both are on powerful spiritual paths...how come he isn't giving you some right-of-way in deference to your superior age and time on the path, damn it! These kids now-a-days.

And, I'm sorry that all your time together wasn't enjoyable. That can hurt especially given that you are half way around the world.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!! You nailed it! why isn't he bowing and telling all his friends that I am really God incarnate and they should give up their chairs for me! (note the exclamation point at the end, rather than a question mark - that's because it is not a question - it is a demand! - Huzzah!!) Mostly, if I have a problem with ANYTHING it is because I am not getting what I WANT. I Love You, Tom.
