Note
(rest day)

Because it has been a very tough week so far :) But my body is properly back together again, and we spent the morning fixing the stuff we knew needed fixing on the car. We went to Swedish Performance Autos at the suggestion of Mike, and the first thing they said was "I shouldn't really be telling you this with regard to our business, but those parts are covered by warranty until 120k miles." So take it to the Saab dealer and they will do it for free. But first Swedish checked it was actually broken for free, and checked the brakes for us. So we took it to the Saab dealer, and it took a long time (especially as their garage door broke when the car was inside), but they even had the part in, and it cost us absolutely nothing. We were expecting around $800, so that was a rather good start to the day! We can now afford to fix the aircon, and the noise we thought was the brakes squeaking was apparently the suspension, as it has now stopped. Excellent all round. We will be returning to Swedish Performance, that's for sure!

I have planned lost of orienteering fun for the next week or so before I leave, as Rob is very busy preparing a figure for a mega paper, and I hope that the hurricane doesn't affect too much of it.
