The Official Phrase of 2021: "Supply Chain Issues."

The nine new windows for the family manor are delayed somewhat. Two weeks, they tell us. 

Here's hoping. The originals on a 73 year old house are really showing their age this year.

Trips to various stores appear to confirm similar issues.

Here's hoping those get worked out, too.

In related news, the Expedition got t-boned while heading up for a micro-vacation last weekend. Everybody's fine, which is the most important part.

The second most important part is that the vehicle is still driveable.

The third most important is that I didn't get the ticket for the collision. 

Now here's hoping the phrase of the year doesn't screw up the repair efforts. I have a bad feeling they just might total out the old girl and give us some (insufficient) cash to go car shopping again.

  1. As someone also going through a bit of car trouble right now, you have my deepest sympathies, Dale.

    I am intently curious about how things are going to change and shake up over the next few decades after all this.

  2. Keeping you in mind.

    Seems to me you had a scare some years back about halfway between your home and Sault Ste. Marie - one which involved your vehicle doing a 360 while hydroplaning.

    1. Yes, that as a memorable one. No harm done to anyone with that, either. Quite thankfully and remarkably.

    2. Wow--almost 16 years ago. Good memory, Art!

  3. All is pretty well, thanks. The adjuster will swing by tomorrow, so here is hoping he authorizes payment, and not a total loss.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
