Yesterday was my 61st wedding anniversary. Well, Handsome Partner checked out nearly 13 years ago, but who's counting..
And today Chief Garofalo's forecast came to pass
Honda wrote to me to let me know my car is on the recall list, one of those likely to have had a faulty fuel pump installed, and it could poop out in traffic, fail to start, etc. I need to get them to replace it at no charge. Good to know.
However they're very sorry but they won't have the parts available till the end of the year, but they'll be sure and write again then. Oh. I suppose if it collapses I'll have to get a non Honda part. Since it's been running fine for six years, I don't think I'll get too anxious about it. Honda isn't what it was. Or their supply chain isn't anyway.
Happy day, everyone, but sad one for Ukraine. They've had to withdraw from a heavily fought town they'd held. Can we bombard the Speaker with demands to put up the aid vote?
Meanwhile
I have done that partial blending with a cauliflower soup.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I will get a Honda recall. I just did one on the rear chassis earlier this year.
You can check your VIN on their website. I didn't bother, just waited to hear.
DeleteI do like Chief Garofalo's weather advisories. I bet he enjoys creating them as much as everyone else enjoys reading them. Well, you know. Except for the part about the really bad weather. That's a lot of snow!
ReplyDeleteYour stew looks very fit to eat. Body and soul-sustaining.
A wedding anniversary is a wedding anniversary, even if one of the partners is gone, and worth celebrating. That's my opinion.
It cheers up the weather when he's writing funny stuff. And yes, it's a significant day even solo.
DeleteI heard about Ukraine this morning. We have GOT to get funds to them soon. Your stew looks just fabulous. And we ALWAYS remember special days like that. Hugs today.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The European group have stepped up their $$ but the US is the big one. And the House is ready to pass it.
Deletewe're having another dip into winter but no snow, just rain and wind. two faced Speaker Johnson recesses the House instead of voting on aid to Ukraine and then makes a big speech that Putin must be stopped.
ReplyDeleteYeah, performative much?
DeleteWe're coming up to the 2nd anniversary of the war in Ukraine and things are looking dire, alas.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a winter warning quite like yours. soup sounds good. I got a recall on my toyota something about the battery holder could cause a fire but they don't have the part either just stand by yikes
ReplyDeleteCathy
I expect their lawyers wanted the warning. Just to cover them :(
DeleteI agree, an anniversary matters even if one is gone. 61 years, a long time. I often blend white beans to thicken soup. Your stew looks good.
ReplyDeleteI usually blend the whole pot of soup, that being my preference. But this is a stew, where you leave the veggies alone in bite size pieces. So a bit of thickening is good.
DeleteI hadn't heard about a Honda recall. And they're usually such reliable cars!
ReplyDeleteIt's been all over the news here recently. My last Honda had a recall to replace the ignition switch which kept misreading and not letting the key out!
DeleteI can’t believe what the US government has done to add to the hardships (or at minimum no reduce them) in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteIt's one man, Speaker Johnson. He refused to bring a winning vote to the House. Now he's under pressure from his own party about it.
DeleteGood of Honda to tell you that your car might stop in the middle of nowhere!
ReplyDeleteYeah. So if it does, they're in the clear!
DeleteSeriously. Why worry people unnecessarily. If you had an issue then they could either fix it or tell you about it being faulty and giving you the choice to fix it with a different after market part.
ReplyDeleteI guess they had to do it, to cover their arses from being sued
Your stew sounds like it’s exactly what is needed on a cold snow day
I think the letter is pure lawyerese. They don't offer to reimburse for a non Honda part, unless you already did it before the recall and you can apply for a refund.
DeleteThe stew is really good. All those vegs, very virtuous.
The stew looks so good and what a great way to add some texture!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of snow! As for what the US House of Reps is doing, it's not good. For shame.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get snow here but any stew on a cold winter's day is good food.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very good soup for such a winter day. I'm getting out my immersion blender tomorrow to make some potato leek soup. Haven't made that in over a year - maybe two!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great soup. If it's been that long you'll enjoy it.
DeleteIt turned out great. I made a large batch so we'll get to enjoy it a few more times. :)
DeleteLovely stew and lots of memories for you on the anniversary. We should vote them out and get on with helping. Glad you are fed and warm.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're doing better now.
DeleteGood snow weather food. One has to go looking for Ukraine news over here these days - it has fallen well below front page, top of the news. I do still go looking for it but it does break my heart again and all over again every time I do.
ReplyDeleteI'm committed to remembering and reminding about Ukraine. Just my tiny bit.
DeleteOnce again I laughed at your weather report. He must be such a fun guy.
ReplyDeleteThere's a recall coming on our Rav4 too and we received the same sort of notice. I guess they'll get to it when they can get their hands on the parts. We're still waiting to get the hail damage from last August fixed.
ps - meant to wish you a happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think the parts supply chain is still faltering all over, not just Honda.
