ABS Light
When we had been in Mankato for a birthday party, the ride home prompted an ABS light that came one. Dennis made an appointment with the repair shop for today. It was all about a wheel bearing that needed to be replaced. The poor performance of that wheel bearing linked to the Automatic Braking System light to give us fair warning that all was not good. Quick service and this afternoon the little red pickup is ready for any type of a road trip.
It was mild out today. Too bad the sun couldn’t have come out of the clouds and really given us a feeling that it did get into the 30s today. Lots of slush on the streets.
I hunkered down into the sewing studio for most of the day. It was time to get some stitching designs organized into folders on the “C” drive of my computer and then get them copied onto individual flash drives for ease of finding them. It was a lengthy task but well worth the time. If too many design collections are on a singe flash drive it literally drives the sewing machine down to a crawl as it reads through the folders on the flash drive. I have decided to have each collection on its individual unit as much as possible. I am getting close to making use of today’s effort in working with the red velvet to do some embroidery.
The mail brought a package from Amazon today. With not having good vision for some sewing work in the recent past, I had broken needles in excess of what I had in all of the last five years. 300 hundred needles of the same brand that I have been using for a total cost of $33.99 in comparison to purchasing them in the quilt shops at $1.69 each. 300 needles in three different sizes. Not to worry, local shops still get a goodly amount of business from me. One of my stitching gals had clued me onto the needles as well as ordering 100 yards of the tear away stabilizer for the same amount as to what a 10 yard roll would locally cost. I had burned through quite a bit of it with the skating towels. I am set for the long cold winter with a goodly amount of supplies.
Time to shut off the lights in the sewing studio and work on supper.
