Miata transmission, ‘Woman is the Future of Man’

Sunday, 30 November-
Today was a rainy day so I worked on the web this morning and then took my four-miler in a persistent wind-blown rain in mid-afternoon. I used a golf umbrella but still soaked my feet and my lower legs, leading to the sniffles later on. Late in the day we had dinner at the Hillside, a rare meal out for us these days.
We then watched ‘Woman is the Future of Man’, a South Korean film. I don’t know what’s wrong with us but we didn’t get it. We just kept guessing about it and I would be unable to even tell you what the storyline is. Heck, I fell asleep at one point. So I was very surprised to see it rates a 78 on the Tomatometer at RottenTomatoes.com. Normally I like films which rate down to about a 60 and I occasionally (very rarely) like a film which rates as low as 20. But I can’t remember the last time I saw a film rated as well as this one which I just didn’t get. I can’t recommend this one but if it’s a 78 on RT, you might want to take a look.

Saturday, 29 November –
Today was a warmer day and I wanted to get out in the Miata to thoroughly check out the replacement transmission by putting on some miles. I drove into York and first did some browsing at Gander Mountain, then took a Starbucks break at the new Target on Dover Road.
I drove through the city and took a route I’ve not tried before to Indian Rock Dam then on to Nixon County Park. Nice country out there! I soon became lost but realized all I had to do was head east when I had the chance. I finally saw a familiar road name and blundered into Nixon Park unexpectedly. I love it when a plan comes together.
I walked for about 80 minutes or about four miles on the Nixon Park and Lake Williams trails. This is a hilly area and at one point I found myself on an old and steep trail now covered in a deep layer of leaves. I slipped in the leaves and fell once, then decided I’d better slide down the hill on my rear. It wasn’t elegant but it worked.
My day of driving around confirmed my fears about the transmission. It’s just as noisy as the old one in third and fourth and makes a whirring sound in first and second. Rats.
