"Budgets are the New Black"

Good news! The transmission didn't fall out of the car! Or, you know. Whatever it is that transmissions do when they go kaput. So that's a good thing. The actual damage?$277.57

Much better than a couple-few thousand.

In Other News - The Hubs' on-again, off-again deployment is... On again! Gee, didn't see this one coming.

But stay tuned. I'm sure it'll be off again in a couple days.

I wish I were kidding.
