Mission Accomplished

A pleasant Saturday, everyone! Hope you're all doing well/great so far. Well, for most of us, we'll try our best to enjoy the three-day weekend, since Monday is a federal holiday because it's Presidents' Day. (I just learned from our daughter in college that they have class, as usual, on Monday.) Anyway, Happy Presidents' Day to all!

My wife and I was awaken this early morning at five when our young adult son arrived home to spend the three-day weekend  here in 757 (or Hampton Roads). As always, we're so glad and thankful to see him. Thanks to God, our son's doing okay/well at the workplace he chose to be---in The Capital. After exchanging hugs and stories, we all went upstairs to our respective rooms. I know, how tiresome he must be after driving three hours plus on wee hours from his house-work. One thing that my wife and I agreed upon before going back to sleep was that  we'd bring our son's car to the Automotive Store and Service Center for check up this morning (which is today Saturday). Why? Because the latter broke the news to us, as soon as he arrived this morning that something pops up on his car's dashboard about Tire.

That's what we did. At about ten o'clock, my wife and I left the house with our son alone (who's probably in slumber) in his own room. No, we didn't go together in one car. Actually, we drove two separate cars; she drove our son's, while I on our van. (We have a reason why we did this.) Thankfully, service personnel at the Automotive Service Center gladly accommodated our son's car, though we didn't make prior appointment. (I was just there yesterday for that state's inspection on our van.) Well, you know, they've known us already or we've been familiar to/with them because we're one of their regular customers. In fact, all of our three cars were bought there. So all the regular/periodic maintenance and/or repair of our cars are done over there. And we indicated, when we checked in to the front desk, that we may be buying another new car (as graduation gift) for our daughter who'll be graduating college this May, this year. It didn't that long for their mechanics to figure out what's wrong with our son's car (our graduation gift to him when he graduated college in 2010). Tire pressure, that is. And, they did reset something in the car so the indicator light won't show again on the dashboard. Unless there's still something to be fixed.

From there, we drove to the nearest DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) office to request a copy of the van's registration card. I couldn't find the original copy at home, and in the van's since I found out . I may have misplaced it (I mentioned about this in my yesterday's post). Arriving at DMV office, we saw a queue of customers there. Patience, that's what we all practiced, while standing in line like everybody else, waiting for our number to be called. After about thirty minutes, we're done. For two dollars, we got a copy of our vehicle's registration card. We accomplished our goals for today. Thanks to God.

This is all for now, folks. Thanks for being patient, too. Until next time around. Ciao!-chris a. quilpa, 18February2012
