A buyer, and a mechanic


Well I am using one of the computers here at starbucks, and it is making me quite angry. Apparently the key board is a british one....check last post for my thoughts on our jolly ole' friends. So instead of pushing shift, i push \ because the shift on my left side is miniature. And the enter or return or whatever you call that button in inverted so I accidently press # . How annoying. #doh
We showed our car to Diego and his wife yesterday and now they made an offer. Not the offer I would have liked them to make, but an offer nonetheless. So we are going to take it and be done with our trusty red rover. What a great car!
And at work today, \i side note....from now on I will just leave my errors from this stinkin british keyboard. \at work today \i got to work on my car. The last guy that looked at our car took it to the mechanic and he said that our car wouldn't pass |MOT because the brakes are bad or are going bad. So being the great guy that I am I decided to go down to the parts store and get some brake pads. Well after I took off the beauty ring and then the lug nuts and the tire and the screws to the brake pad holders...not sure the official name for that, I found that the brake pads are not as bad as anticipated. After finishing the front, I had to go back to the part store, because they had to order the back pads last night. I get back to work thinking ok maybe these will be worse than the front..... Long story short, nope they were fine too. Why didn't you just take the pads back then, you ask? Well I don't know, I just figure I better do it so Diego doesn't get me for false advertisment, as I told him yesterday that I would be puting the new pads on today.
Anyway, it was a nice day because I got to be outside and not stuck in the hole.

Basically thought what I#m trying to say is that I'm sure thankful God answered our prayer for a buyer. It makes the stress level go down, and that is good.#

I hope y'all are doing awesome and I'll post some more at another time.

Stain, you should really set up your comments to open in another window. Sweet deal about the car, I love the way that God always provides! He gave me two sidejobs to do this week, and I didn't really even need them, I just wanted them so I could buy some more stuff for my turtles. He's great. I love you guys and I am praying for your move and stuff!!!

Hey, it looks like british keyboards have got to be stinkin' awesome! Well, I'm glad things are going well for you two. I hope you do alright while Katie's gone. I know I'd be kind of bummed. Good luck! I love y'all.

Yeah, I would miss me if I were gone, too. umm...what?
I dunno. But do pray for him. He has to do all his out-processing *and* get us packed out *and* make sure we pass the housing inspection, and still has to sell his car, too.
I'm sure it will all work out just fine, but too bad he has to do it alone! :(
