blast from the past - my take on automotive repairs circa 1996

Rick's wedding. Wicked hot day, summer in FL. My car had been acting up for a while.  I drove the 40 miles east w. all the windows open as the ac was out.  The engine sounded like a sick dirtbike and the steering wheel was vibrating like a tuning fork. Took note of these things and chose to ignore, of course. Stopped at CircleK outside town and peeled my soaking cutoffs and tank top off against the backdrop of a conv. store public restroom.. 10 min, tons of gel, makeup, and many fevered prayers that the lighting at the reception would be in my favor, I rushed out. I was transformed in that miraculous way only  4 inch black patent leather stilettos can do for me. Started the car, heard a clunk.  Looked under it and saw a big bolt.  Had a moment of angst, did this come from my car? I tossed it in the back seat and sped off to the wedding.......

So I decided to start a blog. It's not public yet but who knows.  I recently joined an excellent message board for people w. FMS.  I started reading and posting right away...having the time to do so now.  I quickly realized that I was sometimes using the board as my own personal fibro blog. Not that I want this to be just about fibro, if that's what I have, I just want to record this particular journey in my life.
