And just to add insult to injury....

While driving to work my car started giving me mechanical trouble. SO... Quick detour to the repair shop I use near work. Transmission fluid leak. Only had about a quart left. So a;most 400 bucks later, that is fixed. The brake problem and the oil change, and the tire issue still await attention.

And this weekend is a convention down in CT that I'm going to attend. There goes my spending money.
