    Well that's what she thought, rather than pay out another 38K for another one it's the easier option..

    Mitsubishi engines have a reputation for having a short life. They take too much steel out of the engine trying to make the car lighter in order to increase mileage. Sad, @Holly Saunders

    Yes it is tbh Don, it doesn't help that she has to drive it off road up a very bumpy mountain road a couple of times a day or more...

    How about the Land Cruiser? I know people here who claim they are the best, and they REALLY put them to the test, not only off-roading, but driving through rivers using a snorkel.

    She's not interested in buying a new car Don, hence the reason for buying the new engine.. :)

    The pit of my weekend was dealing with my two computers. One I had to install a new Win 7 and reset most of the passwords - ugh. I went to use the other Win 10 and couldn't load Chrome to get on the internet. I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of Win 10's home page so I was doing a lot of searching trying to uninstall a browser which I suspect my grandson inadvertently accepted as the default. So I was going back and forth between the two PCs after I came back from the flea market.

    The peak was going the the flea market 7 AM Sunday. The weather wasn't exactly the best but that's when some vendors are willing to make the best deals with you.

    The peak of this whole Holiday weekend , has been the wonderful Easter Hot weather ( we usually get rain at Easter)... so we were able on one day to visit this place...I got lots of photos

    ..and also a day later (Sunday).. we went down to our boat which is moored not too far away and have a great lunch with some friends at a Turkish restaurant nearby...

    Also another peak was being able to get stuff (furniture garden chairs etc) to the recycle centre that's been waiting in the Barn over winter, to get there ...so all in all.. it's been a great weekend.. and today is the last day of the long holiday weekend, and it's gloriously sunny again, so we're going to be erecting a whole new wooden garden love seat...

    Sometimes it's good to delete cookies or just restart but make sure you have all your passwords handy sometimes they are saved and sometimes not.

    I use a pass word manager and have for years. Simplifies things. Have done all the above and then some.. So not sure of the problem.

    Peak Peak..nice day but windy. We went to a Aircraft Museum and really enjoyed seeing the old war planes and other memorabilia.
    Then off to lunch- lawdy you can tell we do not eat out much. Picked wrong place for us- sports bar..noisey and very pricey food..but it was good. Hubby looks up at me with funny look on his face and says...
    there are no tomatoes in this salad...abd no crackers ? You have croutons in your salad Mark- you dont need crackers. Not all salads have tomatoes in them .You really gotta get out more.It was so funny but a ..you had to be there moment:).
    Loved the day though.
