Well this Christmas season is like they have been often the past decade.
I was going home early last week to put up the Christmas Tree; got a phone call from my cousin, the heater was not working.
Went home earlier to deal with that, so I did not go out to get a tree. (The toilet bowl upstairs had frozen but oddly the tank did not.)
As it could not be worked on till this Monday, I turned on the heater upstairs and turned on the little kitchen heater, that may or may not stay on.
It was sleeting/snowing the next day, half-way home road was nasty, so I drove back up North in case Sharon needed help.
Brake light came on, on the way home-- Still had soft brakes.
Rear wheel cylinder went out, and I had no intention of doing that my self with the bad weather coming but I should have.
Wheel cylinders-2, and fixing the line without totaly replacing the brake line, (IF I did it myself and the line broke, new line near 200 bucks) cost me 840 dollars; new fan motor in furnace cost me over 400 dollars.
It is snowing right now, approx Two and One-half inches so far, so, tonight I blow snow up here and tomorrow go home to put up a Christmas tree.
