Rough Long Day yesterday

Had a Wake Service yesterday for Charles Sellnow. Grand Prix has an exhaust issue that needs to be corrected. Took Andrea to school last night for a Star Gazing event. We got to see Saturn through a very nice telescope. Was way cool. My back was not happy about messing around with the Grand Prix's exhaust but I can not afford to take it to a shop.
