Miss Lueffie’s in the shop getting a new carburetor, a new muffler and to try to fix the common Ford Econoline instrument panel failure.

The mechanic had some trouble just finding a carburetor; apparently he couldn’t find a rebuild kit. He said that the parts house people look at him like he’s some kind of dimwit asking about parts for a 22-year-old carburetor.

The hard part for us is the waiting. Not that we were planning to go anywhere right now; we just sit around talking about all the maintenance and upgrades we could be doing. The fact that we sat around on our fat butts last week and didn’t do anything is beside the point. <g>
