Night Out on the Town...

After a lazy day at home, we decided to go have dinner and look at Christmas lights. We got several small things done at home which was nice, but we didn't feel forced to get anything done. We took Fisher's car in for a brake job, and thankfully, it didn't need one! That was nice, since the place was honest with us about it and we didn't have to pay out the money!

We had dinner at Enchilada's (trying to stay away from big chains) and then drove through a few neighborhoods. We read about one neighborhood in a magazine that we get on our door every month for a nearby area. There are 14 houses on the street, so they do the 12 days and a welcome and good-bye house! It's very cute! In the magazine they tell how each family passes on the 12 day decoration to each successive homeowner. Only one homeowner (the one who had the idea in the first place) still lives on the street 18 years after the tradition started.

About 15 minutes ago (when I started writing the blog entry), I started to smell gasoline and could not figure out where it was coming from. Then I remembered that the auto repair place said Fisher's gas tank had a leak. I went out to the garage, and sure enough...the smell of gas met me at the door and there was something dripping near the back of the car. The repair shop didn't mention this on the phone when they called Fisher...we noticed it on the form they give you when you pick the car up. The problem is that the car wasn't doing that before we took it to them. So, Fisher's pretty sure the place caused it. Our only proof is that the car wasn't leaking gas before we took it in. Now I'm questioning the comment I made earlier about the place being honest. And Fisher is too. He's concerned about taking it back to repair shop since who knows what they may do to the car next. But, if they caused it, and he's going to argue that, then he has to take it back to them.
