Happy birthday to Vortex! Excited to be able to deliver hugs in person this year. Enjoy your day and I do hope the year ahead is filled with delight.
Really hope to hear that Plei has made progress in this direction.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Many happy returns, Vortex!

The Nilly calendar also records today as the anniversary of the first F2F in 2002. It was a grand event.

Rather momentous!
Today's fuckery: the caterer says the chair vendor doesn't have a form with my credit card information and they won't deliver tomorrow without it. Of course it's not an online form, but something I need to print out, fill out and scan. Which, since I don't have a printer, means I have to print it at FedEx, fill it out there and scan it there. That's a bullshit timesuck, chair vendors!

Just ordered a new belt and tensioner for my wife's car (preventative maintenance) and it was $120 which seems like a lot for some pretty basic parts. Still a lot less than getting it done at a shop or dealer though I suppose.
Going to have to take it to a dealer before too long though to change the CVT fluid. That job is beyond my abilities and I feel like I should go to a dealer to give the best chance that it's done right with no contamination. Been a long time since I've taken that car to a mechanic.

Geez, David, that sucks! What a pain.
Gud, I'm impressed. I can add oil, and I can change wiper fluid, and I'm pretty sure I can change a tire (though I'd likely call roadside assistance anyway), but that's about it for my car maintenance capabilities.
