Mileage Update

On the eve of a long weekend of driving in a car without air conditioning....

First catchup on miles: 320+6/25:Mutual&Welfare 9mi+6/29:Church 9mi=JUNE 338 MILES
July: 7/1:Welfare 10 mi;7/2:Sam's+Church 21 mi (+$120 for food) = 31 mi

Next: I've given the Festiva a look over; we'll be delayed getting out of Dodge: the muffler needs to be replaced. Tell mom to expect us about 7 or 8 pm local time. I've fixed the battery mount so that it doesn't bounce on the transmission (the battery mount tray is long gone). The wind shield wiper repair will likely require a body shop to do the welding. I might be able to improvise something, but I doubt it. Otherwise, as previously stated, the car runs well and gets about 47 mpg. About the same as the Insight, but with more power!!! I'm off to look for a CHEAP radio.

It made the 4th of July marathon drive a bit quiet; too quiet...
