What a great idea for a business. Here is the place where old and new (but wrecked) cars come to be distributed out. You pay $2.00 for entrance into the field full of dead cars. You can literally take your own tools and glean used parts off of cars! What fun!!! We left with a heater blower resistor and some fuses. The only thing is we don’t know if the parts are bad or not but you can return them toward the purchase of new parts. The parts we took didn’t change the outcome of Val’s heater so we are going to let someone else diagnose what’s wrong and then we will fix it if possible. I’m proud of how far we came to gaining an understanding of how the blower motor heater/resistor/and nob assembly works. Yay us!

Later that night we met up with my side of the family to go see the Puyallup Parade and lighting ceremony. It was a fun time watching with my siblings and parents. It was so convenient to...
