A Little Extra Time

 We went out to dinner last night in an early celebration for the Wife's upcoming birthday. She had received a free appetizer in her email for the local Texas Roadhouse and wanted to use it. It was nice as we had the chance for all three Sons to join us. The oldest had about a week ago had issues about a rear window not operating correctly. At first thought, it would be the window lift motor, but after hearing it, it sounded more like the lift connection was off, or broken. He came by yesterday )with Middle Son) and we went to take the door apart to see what actually needed to be replaced. It is a Hyundai, and I now do not like working on them. Once the panel was off, there was more to remove to try to figure out the issue. It got to the point we could not figure out to remove this steel panel to get to where we needed. So it all got put back together, and we went to check YouTube. It turns out that you almost have to literally take the WHOLE Door apart to get to the area we were trying to see. Instead, this morning, he is coming back over and the Wife will run him to the garage and see if they can fix it today. It is just too complicated for me in my limited abilities and time availability, to do.

So I get some extra time today with the oldest Son, as he waits for the car to be done. The middle Son said he would be by tomorrow morning after his night shift tonight, to play on the computer and hang until the local 99cent store opens. He has a list of things he wants to pick up  and they don't open until later in the morning. So tomorrow I will get a couple hours with him.

Then I won't see either again until Christmas most likely. Correction. I will see the oldest on the 12th. He is participating in a our yearly Santa Run, where a bunch of guys dress up in Santa suits and travel to a handful of pubs in the area, handing out candy canes and good cheer, whilst having some drinks. He drove for us last year, but has a suit this year and becomes a full member.

The good part is/was, the time that we got to spend with them last night was good. The bits of time coming up are good as well. Makes me a happier person!
