The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Going to Vancouver in three days, London in four. Re-scheduled ferry reservation; got an hotel room; made arrangements for someone to harass our cats one day sooner.

Horrid weather has forced our hand with all of these changes, but all told it's something we were considering any way. No hardship there.

Meaning: it's time for the truck to die.

Fortunately, it's just the belt tensioner. We've got a dead-common truck, and it's not a rare part. It is, however, a few days before Christmas. If there isn't one on in town, we may be in trouble.

Drum roll, please...
