I was out an about and thought of a couple of little thing I want fixed on the interior. The leather strap with a snap that holds the back seat rest up is broken. Anyway I stopped at the place that I have used in the past. He said he just does not work on cars older that 2000. Even with pleading, the answer was no. She cave me the name of some guy down in Norman. I just can't see driving way down there for a simple fix. I feel sure someone on this side of town can do it. So I swung by the Porsche dealer. I talked to the salesman that sold us the Macan. He has worked there since the early 90s and he gave me a name of a guy. So now I have to call strangers to come fix some minor issue.

The city has been improving a road that goes past the dealership. It is part of the old Rt66, and they added a lane to make it 4 lanes, and widen the intersections. I figured I would go down it just to see the new road. There is a business that sells LEDs of every sort. So it pulled in and talked to them. I can get a drop in replacement for the 10 florescent bulbs over my work bay. Just bypass the ballast, and use the old fixtures. $27 bucks per bulb. And they are brighter. I may need sunglasses to work out there.
