Auto Repair Shop
I have been looking for a good mechanic in Macomb and finally found one!
Webb Automotive, successor of A & E Auto Repair, repaired minor issues Cobalt had.
An eight years old car with 85,000 miles is ready for the winter.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2016
After Sunfire 1996 retired, we welcomed Mitsubishi Outlander 2016.
Abby drives Outlander with kids and I drive Cobalt 2007 to work.
It is a crossover SUV, and we are happy about space and gas mileage.
It recorded 1,000 miles today!

Ponderosa Steakhouse
This restaurant was convenient for family with small children.
However, the restaurant announced its closure after the labor day weekend.
I may have eaten too much shrimp in the past.

Crazy Buffet
I know it is a strange name, but this Chinese restaurant we found in Galesburg was great.
A cost is incredible; only $4.99 for lunch and $6.99 for dinner.
Compared to World Buffet, it may be less flavor but enough selections.
We may prefer this restaurant to Best Buffet in Quincy.
Good discovery!

Age
Two servers at Golden Corral in Alton asked me how old I am.
They seemed to bet for fun but guessed wrong (early 20s).
Well, I should feel better.

Fulton County
John Adams and I drove 700 miles for the last thee days.
A mission was identifying missing or unknown addresses for Fulton County 911.
Even though condition of the rural streets was not great, we enjoyed seeing the scenery along the streets.

Rain Gutters
We have installed new rain gutters on our house.
The old gutters were old and rusted, which caused minor water leak to our basement during heavy rain.
New gutters made of aluminium would last longer and prevent the water issues.
There have been several home improvements this year.

Alignment
Cobalt could not rotate or balance tires until alignment got repaired.
I finally found a decent shop in Macomb, A & E Auto Repair.
They are honest and reasonable.
With improved alignment and new front tires, Cobalt now runs very smoothly.

Best Buffet
We finally found a decent Chinese restaurant in Quincy which is family friendly and inexpensive.
Best Buffet located near Walmart charges only $6.99 for lunch including sushi and hibachi grill.
I would grade B+ for taste and B for selection.
Asian Buffet in Macomb was temporally closed due to food inspection, and we decided not go there again after reviewing the inspection report.

Tokyo 16 Spring
I am happy to announce that Abby and I had a wonderful trip to Tokyo during the spring break.
Abby's parents were kind enough to take care of kids for one week.
I plan to post photos and videos on the private link for a while.
Please let me know if you are interested.

Comcast
I received ads from Frontier Communications yesterday,
It says $29.99 for 6Mbps with 2 year contract.
I decided to chat with Comcast online and asked them why I am paying more for less speed,
Customer service did not listen and offered more expensive plan.
When I mentioned that I would look for other company to lower my bill, the staff transferred to the sales department.
The next staff seemed polite and reasonable and offered me two promotions after confirmed I have been their customer for several years.
In the end, I chose option 1 which is $19.99 for 10Mbps for 1 year and $49.99 after the promotion period.
Abby is very happy that we now have faster Internet connection with less cost.
