So, shortly after the last post I get the call from the Mechanic.
I need a new transaxle. This is hopeful, until I look up transaxle and discover that it's mechanic speak for transmission.
I've left a lot of cars for less, but - it's still early in the season. Find me a transmission. Life seems to require I purchase a transmission, there's no getting 'round it, 2 years ago, condemned the white jeep for the same reason - but - a new vehicle, same problem, it seems there's no avoiding fate.
And it's going to need a clutch. "I mean" he explains - "Might as well while we have it all apart....". Sure.
No charge for this summary evaluation, having paid XX$$$ for coffee and breakfast at the Bluebell is probably money enough spent for today, they have to be in league with the mechanics...
Driving back to Nelson in 3rd gear, enjoying the throwing it into neutral on the mountainsides down, my only attempts at speed, when finally comes the rattle of the muffler. Pull over, it's now completely off, throw it into the passenger seat.
Transmission, Clutch, Muffler.
There's no escaping fate. That said, I do have a lottery ticket I haven't checked...

Nathanja doesn't have a web presence (that I could find).
But she does have some lovely mushroom prints for sale, at the Bluebell Bistro in Kaslo.
They sure do love their mushrooms out here.
Just waiting on the Mechanic...

Wake, drive to Kaslo for the mechanic.
Waiting now for the diagnosis, then wait for the part to be ordered and the scheduled repair.
Yesterday, after my beach-comb, the weather turned to rain and sleet. This morning, rain and snow. Waiting, outside, nothing open in Kaslo, finally 8:30 and the Bluebell Bistro is open, someplace to warm up and grab a coffee while they do their thing.
When they're done, back to Balfour to scrounge for more flakes the weather may have turned up (I need to rake the ground so that the rain exposes fresh finds), then onward to Nelson and meet the daughter...
