Car Karma
Recently I wrote about getting ready for winter, focusing on the home. Earlier this month I had to have tires and brakes all round, new shoes for my trusted transport. Then yesterday I needed to have a jump to the battery when my car locked me out and the problem was not my Karr alarm system.
An ensuing discussion with the quite affable knight from AAA about my car ended up on the subject of the timing belt. As he described what happens when it breaks, I knew I better not put the work off any longer.
As the storm door has opened early here in Northern California, I realized I need to get some other things done; new windshield-wiper, anti-freeze, battery check, air-filter, and my timing belt appointment has been made.
It is so easy to overlook getting our car or truck ready for winter especially when you live in a mild climate. However, it is so important and can save so much hassle especially in bad weather. By paying attention and taking advantage of the reminder that the universe so kindly sent my way, I am confident I avoided some nasty car karma.
