Trying to get back in the Groove....
I know it's been a little while since I last posted anything. Not a whole lot going on. Since I've been back I've been hitting the gym and trying to get back into my workout mode. I'm having trouble getting motivated. But I've been going and slowly working my way up to where I was in my workout routine. It's just that after 3 weeks of no workout at all, my stamina gets weak...and my muscles, I think. I know that when I'm in Caseville, I really need to get out the weights, get on my little stepper thingy, get on my bike, or just plain get off my ass and WALK. But I don't.
Speaking of Caseville....I think I forgot to mention the trouble I had with my car when I was up there last. It was the Cheeseburger Festival and the cars are backed up big time just trying to get through town. I was in the line and all of a sudden some warning light came on telling me to check my gages. Sure enough, two of my gages were all the way to the right...like in the red zone. One was for coolant and one was for oil. I knew my engine was overheating so I turned around and weent back home. I told hubby about it, but he was convinced that it must be a computer glitch and there is nothing wrong with my car. Although when he opened up the hood, the engine was really really hot. Whatever...
So later we both attempted to drive into town and again the warning sound went on and the same thing.....both gages were in the red zone. So he figured there must be a problem and I turned around and went back. Luckily, we had his car there to use so we weren't completely abandoned. But I don't feel comfortable driving his car so I used it as little as possible.
We ended up calling a tow truck and had my car towed to the dealership about 8 miles away in Pigeon. They had to keep the car a few days while they ordered parts. There was some cooling fan relay thing they had to replace, but the main thing was my oil pump was shot and had to be replaced...and that's a big job. That's the part they had to order. So over $700 later, I had my car back.
Holy Moley, I'm just glad that it didn't go out on me while I was on the road with two dogs and a bird in the car!!

So last weekend was Labor Day and we decided to check out the Hamtramck Labor Day Polish Festival. We met up with my daughter-in-law and the kids on Saturday. Then we went back on Monday and caught a few of the musical acts I wanted to see. We saw The Contours (Do You Love Me), and Question Mark and the Mysterians (96 Tears) and Danny D who is a Rod Stewart impersonator and he was really good. I had a ball! We had alot of fun. We both bought a couple of Polish T-shirts that we will wear to the Kinde Polish Fest next weekend.
I'm leaving Wednesday for Caseville again for a couple weeks and hubby will drive up for the weekend. Next weekend is our wedding anniversary and we're going to go to that Kinde Festival on Saturday and out to dinner on Sunday (our anniversary). Then the following weekend the Eagles are having a 50's-60's dance and I got my ticket for that already.
Please Lord, no car problems this time.....and don't let me forget anything when I come back!
