How's the jeep?
Jeep's fine now. It was the bearings on the idler pully. Got a new pully for 20-something dollars and a new fanbelt for about that. I bought the cheap ones. No sense going for a lifetime warranty for twice as much on a car with that many miles! I sure was glad it wasn't the compressor coz that'd've been about $400 bucks. I won't say she's as good as new, coz that'd be a bald faced lie, but she'll go another few rounds anyways.
Bummer about the dental appt. There something about doctors and farriers that seems to make them like to keep you waiting.
