I have.........

I have jalapeno peppers ready to pick from the plant on the deck. Too bad I don't like them. :rolleyes:
 
I have a story that needs writing and a great deal of editing.

I have already written my entry for summer lovin' contest :D and it's waiting in silence, gearing up for the big day!
 
I have, or rather had, a problem with my repaired Volvo. The kick-down wouldn't work on the automatic gearbox.

I thought it might just be a small adjustment to the connecting cable so I started hunting for my workshop manual I had put in a safe place.

Then I dropped a coin at a McDonalds Drive through. Once the grandchildren had eaten the McDonalds I looked for the coin.

I have solved the kick-down problem - carpet jammed under the accelerator pedal.

I have a fully working automatic gearbox. :D

I have been told by my friend that a manual gearbox is better and less problematic that an automatic one. Is it true?
 
I have packed everything. I have my train ticket. I will soon be living back down on the south coast. Woo-bloody-hoo

Yes - less likely to go wrong and easier to repair if it does.

But my broken automatic gearbox had done 270,000 miles before failing.

My car mechanic will be back in the UK (from Canada) tomorrow. We'll discuss options next week. I can probably source a secondhand automatic gearbox locally.

The real question is how much it will cost to swap them.

I have moved/displaced things from one floor to another of my house the whole day. My back muscles are screaming bloody murder....
