I tried to update Movable Type to 4.1 (from 3.2) and it was so radically different I couldn't cope. I actually wiped away my photoblog. I guess I better stay away so things like comments will still not work. At least until I can read up on it but I don't know if it is worth it.
Thank goodness in this case with my host provider isn't done with changing things to the new server so I had someplace to go to revert.
I forgot to mention. Sold the Subaru. We last left the Subaru with blown gaskets. Tim at work told me I could probably get 2-3k from a Subaru enthusiast. I didn't know how to sell a car that books for $5k in need of $3 of repairs. I couldn't imagine anyone wanting that.
RAW put in the gasket sealer and it seems to be working. No more temp fluctuations. He put an ad in the Advertiser with no detail. I think it said.
1999 Subaru, make offer
It wasn't long after the paper came out we got our buyer. RAW told him all that we know is wrong with it (an exhaust problem appears after I stopped driving it). The guy called his mechanic and he told him about the same as we heard to fix it.
He wanted to buy it for his daughter who's car died. He seemed good with the gasket fix we did. He just wants 10k miles out of it. RAW started the price at $3200 then called me at work and put me on the spot with the guy on what I want to sell it for. I told RAW, $2300. The guy said $2000. We said sold. Really that is all we really expected to get for it.
The guy put $100 down and would finish the transaction the next day (I still needed to sign the title anyway).
Then a Subaru enthusiast called. He said he can pull the motor and fix the gasket for $200. He had a Subaru right now with 250k miles and would like one with less miles.
We might of gotten a little more money from him and I would of felt better about what is wrong with the car since he knows how to fix it.
H, at work said what you got to do is take phone numbers and prices and call the one you like best back at the end of the day.
Of course RAW hears that that guy could fix the problem for little money. He is now wishing we could of paid $500 to this guy to fix it and then he keep it.
Bottom line, is I got $2000 to add to the kitchen fund and the Subaru is out of the driveway.
I miss it
At about 4:35(ish) a.m., I woke up unexpectedly and had to pee. Not a normal occurance. Later when it really was time to get up I heard that there was an earthquake about 200+ miles from here at 4:35(ish). Interesting. Normally I am not a light sleeper but maybe that quake shook up my bladder.
Around that same time (4:30 a.m.) Abbott security seen a cougar on the property. They say animals act strangly around the time of a earthquake. I guess the cougar was confused and was reporting to work.
Seriously though, what is up with earthquakes and cougar sightings in Northern Illinois?
BTW, this is the 2nd cougar sighted in the area. A couple weeks ago a cougar was roaming North Chicago and Round Lake (a couple miles from home). Then the next week a cougar which I assumed was that one, was seen, shot and killed by police in someone's backyard in Chicago. Now there is another one roaming around out there.
a couple weeks ago Johnny Depp was in town to film a movie. I guess he was seen making his movie around Chicago and Wisconsin too but Crown Point especially. He is making a movie on John Dillenger and Crown Point is famous because of Dillenger.
Then last weekend Hilary Clinton stopped in to Crown Point for a beer and a shot. I seen the TV coverage of her having a shot with the people and knew it was in Indiana but didn't realize it was Crown Point and at Broncos at that.
