Can I brag about my DH?
What a man. We have a '90 Toyota Corolla with almost 250K miles on it. I treasure that car. You'd think I'd put the miles on it myself, I love it so much.
It was behaving erratically. He replaced the starter. It took him an entire day. He's a logical and very intelligent man, but not a car guy. The car ran fine for a couple of days, then would shut off for no reason at all. Yikes. We had it repaired (for about the same $$ as we paid for the car). The most recent behavior was that it would run fine around home, but when we drove it to New Orleans, after we got it there, it wouldn't start. It would have to "rest" for a few hours before it could make the trip home. Very annoying. A couple of car guys said it sounded like a bad starter, and that the place we bought the starter from was known to have bad batches on occasion (!)
DH drove the car to Mandeville, then to the car parts place, where the car would not start up again. They tested it. It was the starter. He replaced it again today. And now, when we drive it to Mandeville and back, it will start right up again.
I told him, if the university professor thing starts to get old, he can always become a car starter installer.

Jo, sorry, but he's real, real busy. He's got a bathroom to repair (we need to completely retile). And then, of course, sometimes he likes to find things to do on the roof (yeesh!)
I love reading about you dh. Your incredible love for him shines through every word. I love listening to happy couples. :)
