We have a heat advisory till Thursday evening.. yuck. The Blue Springs senior building has posted it will be a place to stay cool starting at 8 am. Our branches of the Mid-Continent Library are also available. There are probably more posted that I haven't seen.
I am joining my younger daughter and her daughter ( my grand daughter) to go back to school shopping Lili has a new job at the DMV and needs more business casual things than at her job in the kitchen at Houlihan's... So off we go.
Our "trip" started with a mess... my daughter's car oil pressure light started flashing on her way to my house. When she and my husband checked the oil there was practically none. Her car is a KIA Soul and it had three thousand miles to go before the next oil change...but Kia Soul's have a problem with disappearing oil and that means an engine replacement. Still under warranty..
Bob put in a quart of oil ..but still not a lot showed up on the dipstick.
So.. my daughter put her husband to work on calling the dealer and we left in my car with instructions to buy 4 qts of oil on our way back from shopping.
So the four of us ( grandson came too) shopped for work slacks.. and back to college stuff... and oil.
Bob put the oil in when we returned. The KIA dealer wants to see the car on Friday where the dealer will top up the oil and seal it. My daughter it to drive it 1,000 miles and return... who knows whether it will make it 1,000 miles.
So the day had its good things and bad

Looks like the oil is a Kia mystery. I've heard of topping off the oil, but not "sealing" it. Hope all goes well. Linda in Kansas
I think we might go to that retail bin store you blogged about. I'm curious.
I hope your daughter gets the car sorted out. We've got a Kia too but we've taken the plunge and gone all electric. So far so good, we're really happy with it and it's so economical.
