This morning I take the Mercedes into the Mechanic to have a seal in the power steering fixed. The probably with not driving a car is parts start to dry out and then a .90 cent part becomes a $1,200 repair. The car is 1992 with only 44,000 miles on it, so the steering box has little wear and the Mercedes dealer wanted to replace the entire part for $5,000, give or take a few $100. I was happy that Marshall's was willing to work on it and just replace the seal.
The work day was typical and I had no plans at home for the evening. The chicken's enjoyed the evening running free in the yard and digging up bugs. The corn is now mid thigh high, and the pumpkins are starting to spread out. The entire garden is really enjoying the summer heat and is growing like crazy. I even have little green tomatoes. With the temperatures expected to be in the mid 90's all week the garden should really do well.
