Exploring the Omnivery
Jul. 25th, 2021 09:33 pmAfter traveling something like 8600 miles, my Pelgrane order showed up Saturday afternoon. Pelgrane offered to send a replacement order, and that's just fantastic on their part. I'm hoping they'll be able to stop their US shipper from sending the replacement, but if I have to send it back, so be it. I'm just glad I have the books.
I'm tired as anything tonight. 54 hours working this week, drove to Mom&Dad's this morning, taking The Niece with me, so there was a good talk during the drive. Left the Canyon with Dad, brought the Mariner back, hopefully (again) its demons exorcised. Felt rather good to drive it again; the pickup is great, don't get me wrong, but the Mariner is a Mercury, and that marque paid attention to luxury and comfort in its last years. It's just more comfortable to drive for longer stretches.
