Sorry about the car issues but at least you had good weather for your walk home.
Good morning everybody 
My wife's Explorer had wheel sensor problems recently. The main computer detected the problem and decided that putting too much power to that wheel could be dangerous, so it cut the engine power down to idle. While we were driving. Luckily we were on a deserted road out in the country. After 10 minutes at the side of the road it relented and let us drive home. Same thing happened to a second wheel a month later. Two new sensors at $600 each.
Cutting to idle while driving...not cool. Whatever company made the car would have gotten a very unkind letter from me.
Dd ordered us Chinese for lunch. They don't offer the entire menu for lunch prices but they do have quite a bit and it's half price.
Good evening random folks. We had an interesting day today. We flew from Rome to Frankfurt Germany without any problems buttrying to get from one gate to the next was hard. We only had 30 minutes to get from gate 1 to gate 68 and neither mom nor I were able to move very fast. We got to security and I couldn't find my passport. The agent suggested I look in my security belt and, behold, it was there. Then the bottom of a paper bag mom was carrying bottomed out. We put the important things in our backpacks and left the mess. The We got to where we needed to have our boarding passes checked and mine was gone. Fortunately, they looked me up in the computer and gave me a barcode to get another one printed at the gate. We got to the gate and got my new boarding pass. The man then took us down 3 flights of stairs, which neither of us did very fast and we were able to get on the shuttle that took us to the plane. There was one couple that boarded after us, but we were nearly the last. We managed to get on the plane, which then took its place in line for takeoff. We had been in line at least 30 minutes when the captain came on and said we were going back to the gate to fix a generator problem. 30 minutes later the captain said the problem couldn't be fixed and the flight was canceled. Our group ran around the airport, again with mom and me having difficulty, until we found someone who could help us. We sat in a waiting area for 7 hours until we all got new flights, which don't leave until tomorrow. We got food and hotel vouchers, too. They got a taxi voucher for me and mom, with our priest escorting us. When we got to the hotel, the taxi driver didn't want to accept the voucher and got spitting mad. He and the hotel agent got into an argument and I thought the driver and our priest were going to get into a fistfight. The driver finally was persuaded to accept the voucher and left, with steam still coming out of his ears. So now we are stuck in Frankfurt in a cheap hotel with no luggage, except what we carried on. At least it has a clean bed and a roof over our heads, and we get fed tomorrow. We won't get to DFW until 8:45pm and then it will be close to 11pm before we get home. We fly to Chicago and then have a 3 hour layover before our flight leaves for Dallas. If we can make it to the US, that will be a major improvement.
Oh, wow. Sitting in an airport for 7 hours wouldn't make me very happy.
Yeah, some of our people were starting to get anxious and were pressuring the staff that were working to help. No one got angry but you could see the edges start to fray. The priest had to talk to a couple of people to get them calmed down. After we had each wandered off for bathroom breaks, food and for a few, a beer, and we also started seeing results from the work of the staff, people were generally calm.
I'm not particulary religious and I'm not Catholic either but I'm glad you folks have your priest with you.

OK, I'll go back to my recipe ideas. I wrote down quite a few ideas but don't feel like trying to make the ideas into recipes right now.
I just got home a little bit ago.
I was a getting a bit cranky by the end of work so decided not to check out that store as it would have added at least a half an hour to my driving time.
Winding down with some me time and vape now.
