Yesterday, the repair person for our elliptical came to replace the console.  It had an intermittent issue and since it was under warranty, they had to do the switch out.  Afterwards, Jim spent some time getting our accounts set back up again.  The day went fast - we headed to see Mom and go to church later on.

Now that the elliptical repair is done, Jim wanted to get the MINI up on dollies and on the trickle charger and everything put back into its winter spot.  Starting to jack up the car...

He has to do it a little bit at a time on both sides...

Then...his 20 ton jack failed.  Granted, it's well over 40 years old.  Jim will have to investigate either a repair or a new one.

He had to get the jack out of the 4Runner to continue...

Working on the other side...

All up on dollies and into its place...

Then Jim plugged in the charger and got it all covered...

Jim put the tarp curtain back into place and moved the elliptical over...

At this point, Jim wanted to go get diesel fuel.  I wanted bananas so I tagged along with him.  As we headed to town, the train crossings came down.  This was the first time in 12 years that we have ever seen this track used.  Then we realized it was the Polar Express - Santa was out front and the cars were full of families waving to us.  So fun!
