Car Update

Have you shopped for a car battery lately? over $70 for a decent one....if you need it, which luckily we did not. However, after having having it tested we needed a new starter. Bummer..battery was cheaper, but I did end up getting a decent price on a rebuilt starter and paid $113 instead of $140. And apparently there was a wire going to nowhere, that was hot...and most likely part of the reason the battery was discharging...other than the starter. So anyway, thanks to having a friend who is a weekend mechanic, and paying for the part, the installation cost me a 12 pack of beer.

Oh yeah..and the exciting, but scary part of the day, a few houses down from where my friend lives, a house fire started. Apparently it was electrical and started in the attic...and luckily no one was hurt. The house has a few holes in the roof, and I bet a lot of water damage.

Tonight was GNO....we went to Macaroni Grill for dinner. I ordered the shrimp scampi...and it was very good. Then we went to see "The Women" with Meg Ryan and Annette Benning. Movie was very good, although when Annette's charactor said that she and Meg's charactor had been best friends since college, I thought that was stretching it...A LOT...Annette looks great for her age, but she does not look anywhere close to Meg's age. It was an interesting movie with a fairly good sound track.
