Good mornooning everyone.

I am without my car again today, which is a nuisance, as JoesDad needs mine to get to work. JoesDad’s car went in to have new brake pads yesterday and they found a brake fluid leak. It now needs a new calliper too :(

The mechanic videos the problem and sends it to you so you can see what he’s talking about. It was early stages and hadn’t affected braking, but the idea of brake failure on the road is scary!

i was in the kitchen messing around and it started getting darker and darker out the window. After a few minutes Thor dropped his hammer on my roof, and now there's thunder and lightning and pouring down rain. I should mention that it was a beautiful sunny day until then.

Naughty Vikings. They’re always up to some tricks, take my word for it! [emoji849] A sacrifice is usually a good way to make Thor happy. Wish we all lived a little closer to Lyn’s nasty neighbors. ;)

Good evening! Today has been a good day for us.. son had an appointment at his eye specialist this morning and he has no permanent damage!!! He had 4 blisters In his eye but they are healing well now. He will continue medication for a couple weeks but we are over the worst.. we came home and I did a little gardening in the sunny weather with Toretto following my every move.. a couple hours later, I noticed that he was MIA... I looked everywhere and even asked my son if he had the gate open any. Finally, I went over and peeked in the door of his box and..... he was in There on his mat!!!! YAYYY... but wait, it gets better... today is weigh day so I sent my son in the box to bring him out so I could soak n weigh. When we finished, I just put him down in the yard... 30 min later, he was back in the box.. [emoji322] [emoji324] [emoji323] [emoji95].

Ah, Toretto got it at last! [emoji23] Good boy. And it only took him three weeks or so? [emoji6]

So happy your son is on the mend and his eye didn’t have any permanent damage. What a nerve-wrecking experience it must have been.

It is scary! Thank goodness he found the problem before it became one. Do you need to go out today?

That's great news about your son, hopefully he'll soon be fully recovered!
Toretto obviously likes his new home and has the hang of going in and out now!
So well done to him - even if he did give you a heart attack!
