We went to the Honda dealer to get the trusty vehicle fixed. No charge for the plastic on the wheel well and $285 for the serpentine belt. Not too shabby for our almost ten year old vehicle.

Hopefully it will last until the cheap EVs come out.

Got in some writing. Deleted a lot of para’s that did nothing but waste space. Stuck a note where something was actually (now) important in the ending — not intentional, totes accident but that is how it works. Happy accidents.
