Daylight saving time changes arrived at 2 AM Today. I watched it happen. The new SAD/Alarm light has a time display, and what was 1 AM changed to 3 AM within minutes. The anticipation of the 8 AM departure of a 7 AM bioclock made sleep difficult. How ironic. In the end (or at the start), it all worked out just fine. We stopped to top off the Tesla charge and headed up to Woodland. The PT was parked where expected. It's still a sad scenario, being sidelined and retired in such an unceremonious manner. And yet the real value lies in the noble efforts and the fact that the repairs contributed to a significant upgrade. After scouring the Cruiser for lingering belongings, I snapped a final pie and felt a bittersweet sense of closure on a minor piece of history shared by three generations. Lauren had an opportunity to walk about and explore options she went forward with the Fit. I drove it back after a stop for burgers and immediately got a "low pressure" tire light. We took it back, got a device from the salesman as to the resolution, and should it return after being filled. We filled them, and it remained. We completed the recalibration step, and it went away for now. Lauren helped me as the heat and disappointment were building, stressing me out, and reminded me to stay Zen. It has a big impact. I quickly realized we were getting a chance to have an adventure, to be challenged and grow, and to make more memories. Sometimes I wonder who's here to teach whom. Maybe we're both like in "What Dreams May Come." After returning to her place and ensuring all car-related needs were addressed, we returned home. Tommy's Turo of the Y ended this evening, and rental #2 began tonight, for a full month! He rented, though, a high-end Mercedes sports car, driving it recklessly and revving it down our street. Who rents their car out to kids? I cannot wait for him to mature enough to show some consideration for others. It's not a guarantee that he will, but it is certainly my hope.
