It's Wednesday again already! The sun is shining, it's getting warmer everyday. My health is good, and I have a lot of wonderful people in my life. Anything else is easily surmountable given all these blessings.

I hope you all have a terrific Wednesday. I'm off to replace the starter on my car . . . .

Yikes, it's Wednesday already?! Time is a-flyin' by. I can't imagine how fast things would be if we actually had spring-time temps.

Doing my taxes today!

There's no love in doing this when you already know you'll owe!

Cheer up, Mistress. The sun has finally come out and it's pretty warm outside. I probably have a nice tan. I've been standing on the roof of a factory covered in white lint all morning. I've got "lint blindness."

The sun is out and this is the first chance I've had to sit at my desk...phew...

My 5yoS has T-ball practice tonight for our regional Challenger League (open to kids with development delays and physical challenges) which groups a few towns together in the central CT region for 6 teams. Practice should be fun, he's been playing catch with his big bro' for a few weeks now. I can't picture him making it through a practice without deciding he wants to do something else.

Have fun at the practice Swamp ... you're going right? I can't wait to see my son involved in some group activities like that.

I feel like Chuck Norris right now since my wagon is no longer in charge. I finally overcame all the crap and will have the motor mounts, engine shocks/mounts, and oil cooler lines done in about an hour or slightly more. I just need to run out and get some blue thread lock to put on the oil filter housing coupler so it won't unscrew out of the housing next time. I was even able to save my oil cooler by chasing the threads ... it holds with no problem. We'll see how good it is once I start it up and get some pressure in there.

I get to put the 220D back together this afternoon. She has been down sense Friday. I ordered new tie rods and the drag link.
All the parts were original, Dam Mercedes made a hell of a car in 1970.
