Groomed!

I finally set my priorities straight and had the moops groomed last week - check out these cuties!

I highly recommend Lynne's Dog Grooming in Auburn on South Main Street! $25 a dog for a really nice job, including: nails, ears, bath, haircut!!!

SAAB Heart Attack, Part 763

So, last week I paid $175 to replace my second front wheel bearing (replaced the other 2 months ago)...I went in today to Portland Saab to get my winter tires put back on, and to get an alignment (yes believe it or not, same price as indy guy/non-Saab guy), and get this news- I need $1500 worth of work done on my suspension!! Goodie! All of my bushings are shot, and my rear shocks need to be replaced. The Saab mechanic tells me about my driver side rear shocks: Ive never seen shocks this bad. You can actually pull on my wheel and it moves around. SO. Am currently at home in state of...disbelief/shock? waiting for car to be finished. Am going to take out a LOAN to pay for car repair, on a car I have a loan on still.

This is technically a regular maintenence issue...expected on a car with 163,500 on it...but FAAAAHHHHCKKK!!!!

Yet again am missing work for this piece of crap, but to tell you the truth, taking 8 sick hours is not so bad on a Friday...

The best, and only good part, of today is I am driving an '06 Saab 9-3 which is totally sweet:
