Yesterday was a long day. We got up a bit early, and drove to Enid for "Thanksgiving" with my MIL., and leave behind some turkey and other leftovers.
My wife's Macan was at the dealership getting a factory recall done that replaces the sensor for the passenger side air bag. Under some conditions, it was possible for the airbag on the passenger side to not fire in a crash, and the recall fixes that problem. They were supposed to have it done Friday afternoon. They were behind, so off we went in their 200 mile 2021 Macan, and we added 200 miles to it. Besides the much bigger display, there was not a lot of difference in the cars, and the laminated price sheet was in the car, it is priced at 66K. My wife was not tempted at all to change cars. We drove from Enid, right to the dealership, topped off the gas tank to about where it was, and got our Macan back. They pulled up back to back so we transferred or stuff into our vehicle and left.
We got back home about 3:45 which was the time my brother, sister in law and nephew arrived from Montgomery, AL. They are on the way to my nephew's house in Colorado. They want to spend until the first of the year up there and get a taste of winter. My SIL is intent on moving to Colorado to be closer to their son. She was born and raised in Florida, and moved "up north" to Montgomery, AL for a job almost 50 years ago. They are both retired now. She has never really experienced a Colorado winter, or any real winter at all. She gets cold when it is 70 degrees, and a month of winter in the mountains might cure her of the desire to move. My brother really does not want to move.
We took them to a local Mexican restaurant because they were all starving. They left stuffed, and could not take home the leftovers since they are on the road. The three adults, and three dogs are all traveling in a Toyota, Highlander that is about 10 years old. I reminded them it was their idea for them to all eat Mexican food and then have a 10 hour drive in a car. Fortunately there are three dogs to blame any funny smells on.
