04/23/16 -  Kinda forgot some dates so will just write what has been happening and not putting a date to it.  I had missed an eye appointment on 4/5 so was re-scheduled about a week later but at 7:00am!!  It was a visual field testing for possible glaucoma but test came back normal.  I was still fussing regarding the awning and the engine batteries.  The awning guy finally gave up and so the general repair guy came by and tried to manually jump the engine but no luck.  After a lot of checking it was determined that I needed new engine batteries.  He came on Thursday (4/21) and took one of the batteries to make sure he gets the correct ones.  Of course, since it is not an emergency, I have not seen him again!

4/14 - This day was not fun and had to make a decision way too fast.  I took the car into the Honda dealer for a second opinion on my transmission leak and multiple other leaks including the radiator!  Was quoted once again $3100 for repairs.  I then told them I had to think about it and get my finances in order and then would let them know.  I was then told that just to do the diagnostic part cost me $130 but could go toward the repairs if I decide within 30 days.  Then the guy talked to the service manager and I was informed that there was a $450 discount involved toward my repairs but the catch was I had to leave it NOW!!  I HATED that.  Aunt Ada and I talked it over and she decided to she could take me home and then when the car was ready on 4/15, she would come and pick me up.  In the meantime, before the decision was made, a sales manager comes around and informs me that he can get me into another car for $12,000.  I was just not ready for the hassle to put my extensions on another car, my towing equipment would have to be transferred and I have a special switch so the driver side air bag does not deploy during an accident so I finally gave up and had the repairs done.

4/15 - I got a call about 3:00pm and was told that Hilda (the care) was ready for pick up.  So Aunt Ada drove over and picked me up and I went to pick up the car.  Well, of course the repairs were more than $31000 so with the discount I then ended up paying the $3100.00
