Hail hath no fury on my car and house

Somara and I didn’t even know about the brief hail storm that swept through North Austin yesterday, until we saw some of the cars in the parking lot at work. Yeesh! What a relief too. I just spent over a thousand bucks getting my Golf repaired for the leaks and timing belt; Underground had no luck getting a replacement “wheel” for me. Their sources didn’t seem very interested in wanting to make any money. Now I get to spend probably the majority of my vacation days hunting down a 14″ “wheel” to make the vehicle operate better. I do have to applaud John at Underground. The car runs like a champ with regards to its engine, no stutters or hesitations which make me think it’ll die while I’m idle at an intersection.

The upside to having my car repaired is always a meal at Threadgills before going home. We had a terrific view of North Lamar, watching the downpour, oblivious to the hail happening farther north. At least something went my way unlike these unfortunate car owners.
