It was the day to take the Mini in for service and to discover what the engine light was all about. Turns out they moved and I didn't know so I drove to the old space. The service guy for BMW was very helpful and pointed me in the direction I needed to go. Canyon Road in Beaverton. Got there and then they drove me down to the MAX station so I could get back to Powell's. Usually I would walk, but Beaverton is a little too far for that. MAX dropped me about four blocks from Powell's and I walked down a couple of streets I hadn't been on before. So while I was a tad annoyed at the new location for my car work, I was happy to find some new stores.
At Powell's I sold some books and had a little store credit. I never get as much credit as I spend though. I found a couple new books for the kids and some new books for me. I love Powell's.
On the way back I stopped at Finnegan's Toys. Oh man. What a toy store. Tons of educational type toys. Not your usual toy store that is for sure. I found some beads to string for Audrie and the little man got a pounding toy. They liked their new toys and actually shared with each other.
Caught MAX back to Beaverton and called for a ride. By the time I got back to Rasmussen they had finished my car and it only costed me $290 today. So that is twice in a row that I got out of there for less than $500. I was a happy camper since I was expecting to spend at least that much.
All in all a good morning.
