The blonde goes to collect her car ...

"We took it for a drive, the noise is the brake pads. They are just misaligned. We fixed that. It was a small job, didn't charge you for that."

"Great!" the blonde smiles, noticing that the guy seems more attractive than earlier today.

"But," suddenly attractive guy looks up and smiles

"But? Buts are not good" the blonde concerned by what is to come.

"Your DRL relay needed replacing."

"Is that important?"

"Yes" he stands to give his answer more credibility.

the blonde pauses, wondering if she should ask for a second opinion, the man is wearing black jeans, really how much can he know?

"Is the DHL thing"

"DRL" he corrects smiling

"Oh, yeah, sure. Whatever. Is it free?"

"No" Mr Stuck in the 80s shakes his head

Those 3 little letters cost me $400. That's $133.33 per letter.

Run 58 took place in the park last night. I had put it off all day. It was hot and sunny out and after Sundays 20 miles I wasn't exactly briming with excitement at the thought of running again.

I was over the moon when the friend I yelled at last week called and asked if I wanted to run. I love forgiveness.

We did the 8k loop. My legs were a bit tired and stiff, but the run was good. The only part of me that seems to be suffering from 58 days of running is my feet. They are sore. They feel abused.

I didn't really go into all the detail about Sundays long run to Port Stanley. They are by far the best runs we do. One of the guys who just joined the group this summer has a blog and went into a bit more detail. It's great to read it through someone elses perspective.

Check it out ...

As long as he doesn't try to tell you that your Flux Capacitor needs replacing. Those things are expensive.

The DRL relay costs $400? I thought it was a plug-in relay like half the other relays in your car. Those shouldn't be more than $50. Mr. Stuck-in-the-80's is a bum!

Heh, heh. Vanilla. Flux capacitor. :)

Flirt. Cleavage. Giggle. Knocked $300 off the cost easily!
