What's scorching your groove today?

The car needs a new timing belt AND new plugs and wires and snow tires as winter will be here pretty soon. To change the plugs, the engine needs to be pulled, because of that, Platinum spark plugs are installed with the attending cost associated with platinum.
The car is also suffering form an intermittent won't start problem that rectifies itself after 2-24 hours. Not always convenient when you are out and about, tolerable when you are in your own driveway. No one has any idea what causes this.

Figure it's going to be about $1,000 to do all the work.

No heat or hot water this morning. Go downstairs to reset the boiler switch and see a fairly respectable pool of water and a drip coming from the boiler. Nice. It needs a cleaning anyway, $150. but this leak looks like a big part needs to be replaced. Could be $500 or more.

Just took delivery of a 1/3 of a tank of oil. $356.

I realized we haven't paid the garage for the last repair they did, $336.

Goddamn kid lost his $50 climbing harness TWO HOURS after we bought it.

total in checking and savings: $96.

It's gonna be a fun week.
