We got up early and got going. We dropped the Mini at the appointed time for the new water pump and tires. Then we hopped a bus to the transit center where we caught MAX. Down into the tunnel and then up the elevator to the zoo.
We only perused half of the zoo today. No hurry. I think our laissez-faire attitude made some woman mad because I didn't make Audrie quit petting the chicken quick enough for her tastes. Oh well. Audrie was having a good time and behaving. We saw Lily the baby elephant. I'm not sure she grew much from the last time we saw her. We had a nice time and Connor was even more enthralled than last time. He loved the bears.
Then it was time to reverse the MAX train, bus order. Dropped us right at the door of Mini Portland. We still ended up waiting another two hours for the car. New water pump, new drive belt, some new bushings, a new bulb someplace and new tires. Came in just at $1200. I was pleased. The tires were still on sale for buy three get one free and there is a $70 rebate. Got to love that. And the tires at the dealership were cheaper than the last set I bought at Les Schwab. I keep feeling like I am becoming a dealership gal. I always get a better deal and I never feel ripped off there. My only complaint is having to drive almost to Beaverton, but still worth the job they do.
