pebbles
We were up earlier than usual. The Durango had been making odd noises and we wanted to get it checked out ASAP. So, after depositing two checks at First Farmers and eating sausage egg McMuffins for breakfast, we headed to Co-op. We were there less than an hour and a half. Turned out the car's power steering high-pressure line hose was busted. Cost me a little over $90 to fix. I was relieved.
We divided leftovers for lunch. I got black beans, rice, drumstick and rutabaga.We watched Pickpocket (1959) from Netflix. French with English subtitles. Young Parisian pickpocket hones his skills, before paying a price. Wooden acting. But, pleasant enough.
Our tomatoes have been suffering from blossom-end rot. Calcium deficiency. Deborah brought me a remedy to spray, but the plants need to be dry long enough to use it. When will that be?
Been worrying about Mother's $8,000+ insurance premium. But, after comparing the increase to those of previous years, it appears to be within bounds. Now, if I could just get rid of the pebble in my other shoe...
69.5 °F, clear.

Good news that the problem with the vehicle was an easy fix and not too expensive either! When I read the title of the post and saw the photo, I thought that perhaps the black beans were undercooked! A pebble in the shoe might be easier to handle than undercooked beans!
Hmmm. I never knew what rutabaga looked like until now. The things I learn from your photos!
I'm glad you got the car sorted out and fixed before it became something worse. Strangely,$90 seems cheap for car repairs.
our cars are usually more expensive a fix.
there is always something to worry about when you get one thought out then another stone or two pops up.
We are starting to get some big bills on our 91 Maxima with 150,000 miles on it. Glad it was easy to fix.
$8,000 increase. Did I get that right?
We are traveling tomorrow---have a great weekend,
