Those are pretty Tibs, but all I can think of is that they'll all need to be dusted

That's what Geoan is for.
(And my instant first thought as well.)
Good morning, Bear. I thought of Joan too. Hehehe
Update on the records and the leak?
no worries! those are all next door with the kittens and they don't mind a bit of dust
Night,Bear
The plumber had to replace the physical tub/shower drain fixture and the overflow thingy since they were both one piece, plumbing-wise.
While removing those pieces, he created a few chips around them on the porcelain (or enamel... whichever) because they were so old and set in place.
So yesterday, I go to a local medium-box hardware store to get repair kit (epoxy, rather than just plain paint-on stuff).
I come back to the car and it is dead as can be. It unlocks, locks and trunk opens, but the key does NOTHING... NOTHING.
AAA sends a truck to confirm nothingness and they have to send for a flatbed.
Car now at dealer (well, since 13h00 yesterday) and I'm awaiting news.
Flatbed guy says he thinks its the key not being recognized. However, *I* noticed the steering wheel was not LOCKED at time of parking. And if the electronics is not sensing the car as being totally in "park", then it cannot be started. So... who knows.
Wait... wait... wait...
Oh yuck, Bear. That was totally an awful Monday.
Wasn't the plumber responsible for fixing the chips that he created?
Does your car's steering wheel have to be locked for it to consider itself in park, or is the steering wheel lock just an indicator that it is in park? I guess we can assume the you tried to move things around to lock the steering wheel and/or try to put it in park.

Glad my old fashioned car just has a normal key.
Did you try neutral + stepping on brake?

So yeah... I'm blaming the car problems on the leak.
That's the way my mind works.
No leak... no store visit... car would be fine.
It's been a constant stream of bass-pains and money drains since MAY and - quite frankly - I'm getting tired of it.

Re: Plumber... I was warned ahead of time when he came in with a huge pneumatic chisel to loosen the fixtures.
The gear lever was solidly in "park" and it wasn't moving. And yes, I tried turning the steering wheel 180 (hard to do on asphalt with no power) to attempt a lock... and adjusting it up and own and front to back.
Flatbed guy had to disassemble some of the shift console to pop the cable to enable the car to roll.
First time for me ever in a "big rig" and all I could do it watch my car (in the mirror) and imagine it falling off the truck while doing 65 on the expressway.
So now I wait... and wait... and wait.
Not good, Bear. My thinking would go the same way, re: blaming the plumbing for the car problems.
My car has a regular old fashioned key. Several years ago, i went to start it and the key wouldn't turn in the ignition. No movement at all. They sent a flatbed for it....but the tow-truck driver happened to know that with my car the ignition wouldn't turn if the battery was dead. He jumped the battery and showed me the switch to release the ignition lock (for future reference) and and all was fine. I wonder if it could be something similar for your car?

The "key" turns... just does not do ANYTHING. No radio, no fan, no "accessories". More importantly: no start. The only thing that gets inserted is that nub with "panic" on it:
Futile since the car is many many miles away!!!
at least you'd be prepared for the next time
and you could check up on the repairs being performed! hopefully, this problem is covered under your extended blanket warranty!and a good morning to mad
