I had a kind of busy day and I almost forgot to update this, but here's a last minute entry.

It's really important to find an honest mechanic and I've got one I trust pretty well.  We had a lot of lights on in our car and we took it by the dealership just to see what the lights even were.  They told us it needed an expensive new catalytic converter. I said ok but I'm taking it to my guy.

Flash forward to today and my mechanic says it doesn't need a catalytic converter at all.  It does need some sensors in the tires, but it pisses me off the dealership tried to install an unnecessary expensive part.

Later on I got to spend a few hours doing exciting continuing education units for a license I need to maintain for work.  Fun stuff.
