I glimpsed what looked like a warm-up to an epic sunrise through squinted waking eyes at around 6:10 AM. Just the momentum of my thought process was a reason to abandon returning to sleep and instead bolt out to sunrise hell to perhaps catch it. So I did, but did not, in that order. En route, it became clear it was too cloudy and grey, so I returned to my chair at the window at home. The sound from the Zendo at Jikoji was problematic again, so I bolted from that as well. An alert email sent me down the rabbit hole to triage a payment decline for their Google Voice accounts. I managed to resolve it while expanding the billing contact to a group address. I juggled several calls and follow-ups regarding the PT before heading out for a few hours. I bought and picked up an annual pass for the County Parks since we'll be using it more as we get out and active. Then I got the call about the PT Cruiser's initial minimum estimate, and my heart sank. $6700! The one thing that did not cross my mind was the limited access to parts. I got a recommendation and called, leaving a message. Getting together with Nevin was wonderful, and I hope we can do so more frequently. I had a hard time afterwards, struggling to manage the car situation, and, at Jens' suggestion, I started backing out and handing off. GNO was good too-the food, setting, and nearby coffee made it a good call.
