Slowly everyone is picking up the pace…

I managed to get the car serviced before its scheduled date – the overwhelming free time that I had was too good to be wasted on TV and lazing around at home and as it is a holiday season, my usual mechanics having more free time to properly check the car.… [Click to read the rest] “After the Holidays”
