Van: Good News, Bad News

[kevin_standlee]

The immediate problem with the van fan was loose wires, which sort of explains why the problem was intermittent. Fixing that including the original fee for diagnosis would be about $225. However, while looking over the van, they found that the oil cooler lines were leaking (which might well explain why I continue to have occasional fluid drips). I told them to go ahead and fix it, since the point of this is to keep the vehicle running and in good condition. Estimated total damage: $650.

The good news is that they say they'll have the van ready for me sometime tomorrow afternoon, so I won't have to rent a car on Monday to go to work.

I have some other news that I hope you'll find good: while in the dollar store on Blacow and Stevenson, I saw a who;e end cap of (wait for it) Teddy's root beer!

Ah, that is good news. When I run through the stock I've laid in here (which may not be until October), I'll go have a look. Thanks!

Cool. You may want to get it now, though. These may not be restocked.

Having a van whose air conditioning actually works -- PRICELESS.
