We went to a Polish restaurant my parents like, and afterwards took a short drive to Lambert Castle, which they had never been to. We walked around the grounds, drove up to the tower, and then drove around lower Passaic County for a bit before they dropped me back off at my place.
• I spent the afternoon at my parents' house, where my father and I replaced the passenger's side front lug bolts (the driver's side was done in the winter, when I had a flat tire and broke two lug bolts trying to take the wheel off), replaced the serpentine belt, and rotated the tires. Thankfully the lugs on the back tire were OK. And thankfully, the weather was beautiful.
• And on that note, may the technician at Pep Boys, Jersey City NJ, that installed my front wheels and overtightened the lugs be forced to spend the rest of eternity in a pit of boiling excrement while listening to Nickel back and Gary Glitter. Enough said.
• Last but it least, I wanted to buy a tablet, but I didn't want to spend a lot of $$ because I wasn't sure if I would use it. So I bought the cheapest one I could find, a $50 one running Android from Best Buy. I find myself using it constantly. But it's kind of dinky. I'll probably buy a Apple one sometime next year.
