Squashed

So Cindy got her brand new car back yesterday which she was very happy about.  The dealership identified a faulty relay as the problem originally but Cindy got a more detailed explanation that was a bit weird.  She was told actually that a relay for the battery cooling fan was installed incorrectly.  They said that before the Ioniq arrived at the dealership for sale it was at a car show and somehow that was the reason for the misplacement for the relay.  Perhaps they pulled it to limit functionality at the show, I have no idea.  However the car show explanation does explain why the car already had roughly 30 miles on it when we test drove it Saturday.  Regardless, both Cindy and I are glad to have her new Ioniq in the garage once again.

In related activity, I will be transferring the Prius to my name today so I can assume fiscal/insurance responsibility for it.  I am going to try to transfer the old SSR MUSCL UP plate to the Prius if possible, the irony would be funny.  Keeping the Prius will allow us a way to negate some mileage on the two new vehicles as well as giving us transportation flexibility if one of the three vehicles is unavailable.  I already have a short mental list of things that I need to do to the Prius as money and motivation allows.

Of course I was saddened by the latest apparent terrorist bombing a the concert in the UK. But as I have said before, like most things in life, things, even horrible, despicable things become less impactful the more often they occur.  Gun violence, soldiers dying over seas in pointless conflicts, Trump saying/doing idiotic and dangerous things, it all becomes one big blur of bad that I can do nothing about. So I just try to make sure my own personal sphere of existence is filled with more good than bad and hope the rest of the world eventually finds a way to do the same.
