busy Saturday

I had planned on a regular Saturday, I was going to get my shopping done early, then work on radios..then make a delivery .
I found that one of my missing clients was very much alive, after not replying to any of my emails since September.. I got a returned email as no longer valid.. I started searching for obituaries.. and found a new Facebook page.. and friended him, and he messaged me, apologies for being out of touch and explained that he lost his phone and email and sent me a payment.. so I had to print postage and try to get to the post office before it closed. Then I could go shopping.. 
Forgetting that it's the Saturday before Thanksgiving..and the store was jam packed..but I got my stuff and headed home.. then texted the guy I was gonna drop his repairs off.. and he agreed to meet me half way in 20 min....
So I unloaded the groceries and drove out to drop that off. We chatted for a bit. And he gave me another repair.. 
I got back home and checked it out.. no problem found.. 
Then L & J came home and wanted to go out to eat.. 
...
So.. collected a couple hundred and didn't do much .. but it was productive.. 
...
My car is still throwing codes.. it was fine for 2days.. but just now.. did it again.. I think I need a new turbo.. 
Can we say expensive.... Oh well..it does have almost 200k miles on it..
Plus I rode in the back of Ls car.  And the grinding is loud.  Still not sure where that's coming from. Not sure if it is a passenger side wheel hub or not...
Next week we will look at that.
....

So . .. I also spent a little time trying to figure out who this guy was that re-friended me. I thought he was a radio guy, or a relative..turns out he is my brother's neighbor..
...
I also was chatting with an old friend and ex-boss.. we texted for about an hour.. and not only did I get invited up to visit and stay in the guest cabin..and go skiing..they suggested joining me for a Canadian road trip .
I thought it was pretty cool.
I guess we are still friends.
.....

So I did buy Thanksgiving food.. hopefully it will go well.
... 
So.. nothing more from down under..I guess I should ask how things are.. 

Work helped me figure out my time off.. use the personal days and one vacation day.. carry over the rest and payout the comp -time, at the end of the year.
...

No plans for tomorrow..maybe pick up a laptop to remove or change a password.. they got locked out.. and the admin account isn't working..
May be an easy fix..
..
Gonna be cold..so prob not working on the cars or yard.. just radios . 
Maybe run the vacuum..
.. 
Fun
