I basically accomplished nothing today, unless you count taking the station wagon to the shop (reverse gear has ceased to work, so I suspect we’re going to be replacing a transmission), having a snack and a couple of craft beers at the local microbrewery, and sleeping more than a grownup really should.
Oh, well. We had a nice evening. I might cap it off with an episode of Doctor Who and a bag of popcorn with olive oil and green chile powder. Unless I fall asleep first.
On a completely unrelated note, this will never not be funny:
Hope your day was good.

Sure hope your car is under warranty.
We bought it used, so of course it isn’t under warranty. If it’s a problem with the clutch, I won’t be particularly upset (when you buy a used stick shift, you accept as given that you’ll be replacing a clutch), but it feels more like the gears are stripped. We’ll see what the transmission shop says.
