Evening all. This is the first chance I have had to boot up all day. 2045, partly cloudy, 79 with 86% humidity. The rain came often this morning, but cleared out around dinner and the sun shone later on in the afternoon. After supper we went down to Abe Springs, where Margie was raised, and picked about four gallons of grapes. I only ate about a gallon as we were picking.
I took the used car we bought to Toyota early this morning and then to a body shop this afternoon. We knew it had got rear-ended, {that is why we could afford it} but it looked good to us. All you could see was the right side clip wouldn't fit in the bumper cover, and the right side tail light stuck out about a 1/2". The man at the body shop showed me the damage I hadn't noticed, and it was more than I thought. To fix it right, which is pulling the right side of the trunk back 3/4", straightening the latch, aligning the tail light, touching up the paint on the bumper cover and around the trunk, it could cost as much as $500. It will have to be put on the frame machine, so how quick that goes will determine the cost. This fellow fixed Margie's Prius when it got backed over in the parking lot, so we know he does good work. The rest of the car looks new, so we are most likely going to do it.
