Sat 21 Sept

Today we get the 5000-mile maintenance done on the Prius, and hopefully I will learn more about operating the electronics, e.g. the GPS, Pandora, radio presets. (God forbid I would just read the manual!) We are meeting Grandma for lunch at the Bamboo House. She is coming via Plover Taxi. We may check out the Dozynki Harvest Fest downtown if there's time this afternoon, primarily looking for homemade ponczkas, or other errands as needed. Laundry should fit in there somewhere. Mass at 5 pm at St Stan's. Pack to leave for the North Shore tomorrow. Nice easy Saturday. Grandma did quite well at Bamboo House, though she no longer eats very much. I think she enjoyed it. Happened on a Prius seminar at Mark Motors while waiting for the maintenance, and finally solved the mystery of how to get Pandora on the car; it took them awhile to figure it out but I have to have the phone plugged into the USB port and they still had to mess around with signing in, etc. to get it to work. Also learned how to jump start the car in the case that you leave it running and run it down to nothing.
