I don't spend enough at Fred Meyer to make them the only place I get gas, but they're the best backup when Costco is closed.  That's my go-to place for gas.

I slept later than usual. I would have liked to sleep longer but Stella would not allow me to. Whiler she was bugging me, Annabelle and Thatch were feeling very happy and frisky this morning, After their leaping and frolicking had caused several things to fall from shelves, I was happy to get dressed.

The long-time music director of the Minnesota Orchestra, Osmo Vanska, is stepping down. This weekend is his farewell blowout, with Mahler's Symphony 8 ("the Symphony of 1,000"). They don't have 1,000 musicians on stage, but they do have over 400. One of the soloists is Sasha Cooke, whom DR Jrand71 will remember from the Met's "Dr. Atomic." The recording of this will complete their cycle of the Mahler symphonies.

Title: Re: A BAD FOOD DAY

The next day (Thursday a week ago), I went to the dealer's website and just happened to see that one of their incoming vehicles (it was listed as "in transit") was the sport trim (meaning, more expensive) version of the exact car that I had ordered six months ago!
Title: Re: A BAD FOOD DAY
Post by: George on June 12, 2022, 01:35:41 PM
It had options that I didn't order (powered moon roof, heated side view mirrors, auto-dimming rear view mirror, heated front seats, etc), BUT it was an automatic.
Title: Re: A BAD FOOD DAY
Post by: George on June 12, 2022, 01:37:29 PM
I called back on Friday (a week and two days ago) and asked about my car, and the guy who answered remembered me and said that he would have to call his reps to find out what's going on with the car I ordered!

Title: Re: A BAD FOOD DAY
Post by: George on June 12, 2022, 01:39:07 PM
I asked if I did that and my ordered car came in, could I still get that instead, and he said yes, I could get my manual transmission, or I could get the automatic sport trim.

Title: Re: A BAD FOOD DAY
Post by: George on June 12, 2022, 01:40:57 PM

Title: Re: A BAD FOOD DAY
Post by: George on June 12, 2022, 01:42:07 PM
If I remember correctly, it turns out the the (one?) person at the dealership who knew how to drive a manual wasn't there that day, and someone else tried to move the car and ruined the transmission, and then the dealership didn't want to pay for the repairs! :o WTF??

Title: Re: A BAD FOOD DAY
Post by: George on June 12, 2022, 01:44:56 PM
Anyway, the more I thought about it, plus the idea of there being an actual arrival date, AND all the options that are included with the automatic (although it would cost more), I really am leaning towards getting this sport trim.
Title: Re: A BAD FOOD DAY
Post by: George on June 12, 2022, 01:47:20 PM
I still haven't heard back about what's going on with my ordered stick shift, but I can afford the more expensive car, and realistically, it probably would just be better to get the automatic because in a potential situation where I'm driving someone who can only drive an automatic and I have some kind of emergency, they wouldn't be able to drive my stick shift...also, it's supposed to include a built-in CD player AND it's the exact same color that I had ordered:  Ocean Blue Pearl!

DR George, did you say you read all nine books in The Expanse series but only watched season one?  I did a search and can't find your comment.

DR George I think you missed my question.

I totally missed your question!  Very sorry!  I've watched season one, but have only read the first six books.

I notice there is a new book in the series, Memory's Legion, which has eight short Expanse stories.

Yes, I have seen that.  It says that it has ALL the short stories, except for one. ::)

George did you have to give them money to reserve the car?

Not the new car.  I originally put down $500 for the stick shift, so that'll count for the automatic.

Still ties you into one or the other.  Vibes you love your new car after the long wait.
Title: Re: A BAD FOOD DAY
Post by: Jane on June 12, 2022, 05:06:30 PM
Might you want to test drive the automatic to be sure you like it? 

When I originally went in and ordered the stick shift, I did get to test drive an automatic (it's all that they had) to get a feel for the car, and I really did like it, so I already have an idea of what it'll be like.

I forgot about that.

If they had come to me and said that there was this other car coming in and would I like it instead, I would definitely insist on the original price, but technically, I still have my original car on order and I saw that this new car was coming in, so I asked them about getting it.

I still haven't heard back about what's going on with my ordered stick shift, but I can afford the more expensive car, and realistically, it probably would just be better to get the automatic because in a potential situation where I'm driving someone who can only drive an automatic and I have some kind of emergency, they wouldn't be able to drive my stick shift...also, it's supposed to include a built-in CD player AND it's the exact same color that I had ordered:  Ocean Blue Pearl!


Since you have waited far too long for the car you ordered, tell them you will take this other for the same price.

If they had come to me and said that there was this other car coming in and would I like it instead, I would definitely insist on the original price, but technically, I still have my original car on order and I saw that this new car was coming in, so I asked them about getting it. 


It certainly wouldn’t hurt to try, George.  Your car is overdue, and new car dealers have plenty of wiggle room when it come to the price.

Is Andrew Garfield gay? It appears he is at the Tony’s with a guy.

Are you sure that that wasn't just a seat filler?  He used to be in a relationship with Emma Stone, but there's no law that says he can't swing both ways.

That was why I was asking.  I didn’t think he was, but what do I know.

I would hope that they're open to some negotiating.  I'll find out soon enough.

There really wasn’t a typical boy-meets-girl musical up for Best Musical this year.  I suppose the Bob Dylan show was close.  Actually, I have no interest in seeing the show to find out if it is or isn’t.

I admire Bob Dylan as an artist, but I am not a fan.

I feel the same way on both counts.

I think I will to try and read for a time, or maybe just go to sleep.  I just remembered I finished my book last night.

I'm definitely in the minority about Ariana DeBose - just don't "get" her. Such are the way of things and opinions.

But one day closer (potentially) to a new car!
