I think the rear struts on the car are going, I hope its an easy fix and not that because damn would that be an expensive fix.

Those parts are normally cheapish, but the labour will cost $100+hr at a local mechanics. Probably 2.5hrs

It's always the labor that gets ya...lol

Not entirely sure if that is the issue, just what I think could be based on google searching, a local place is going to take a look and do a diagnostic on Wed to see the exact issue.

Guess its to be expected things will start to break, the car is 8 years old almost, so not a young spring chicken anymore.

I'm cynically thinking it may be a scam. Some time ago, among all his other nonsense, he suggested if he became infected he'd shake it off in no time.

He's going to be fine and then announce "I told you so."

Early indications are you're right

Bolsonaro confirmed the test results while wearing a mask and speaking to reporters in capital Brasilia, and said he is already taking hydroxychloroquine - an anti-malarial drug unproven to effectively treat COVID-19.

"I'm well, normal. I even want to take a walk around here, but I can't due to medical recommendations," Bolsonaro said. "I thought I had it before, given my very dynamic activity. I'm president and on the combat lines. I like to be in the middle of the people."

I will not miss all the noise pollution in Vancouver, one of the noisiest city's I have ever lived in.

I wonder about that too. And if it does happen (whether by scam or natural recovery) it can't be good for the people of Brazil.

Of course they checked the maximum payload of what the bridge can carry and the weight of the truck.

Ugh - I don't know why Twitter links don't show up unless they are quoted - it's annoying...... a bridge too far it seems.....

I have found that I have to refresh the page for Twitter links to appear. I'm not even sure if they work for non Twitter users? I'm not on FB and I cannot access some FB links that get posted.

Siouxie

Twitter links you have posted may show up for you - but they don't to many of us (and yes, I have a Twitter account)...

Downside to doctors going mostly to phone appointments, when you actually need to see the doctor in person to have the doctor has very limited appointments for in office, she doesn't have any until after we move....ha ha
