What a day
It was actually a fine day until the end. However, here is my summation of today -
Woke up around noon. Mother was not amused. Mowed lawn. Came inside to take a shower, and was reminded that I needed to weedwack. Went back, got out the electric weedwacker, started going, and after doing about 6 feet, ran out of cord. Went inside, told my mom that we needed a new weedwacker, preferably gas powered, and took a shower. Lounged around for a few hours, then went and worked out for an hour at the high school. Come out, and the car won't start. Get ride home with workout budy (former track coach). Come back down with mother, and manage to start the car after much annoyance, and a quart of dry gas, and a quart of fuel system lubricant. Car is running extremely rough. Try to drive it around the parking lot, and it stalls multiple times. Leave it parked in the parking lot and walk to the summer track practice. A few little kids are particularly rowdy, and a few others are really frustrated by the activities we're doing. The coach stays an extra hour talking to a former student, and then we finish putting things away. Go back to the car, get it running, and decide to drive home. My mom will be following me. The car is still running extremely rough 9lots of backfires). Takes about 30 min to go the 6 miles home. I manage not to fry either the clutch or the tires (completely).
So that's been my day, for the most part. My mom is going to call the mechanic tomorrow, and I'm sure they're going to give me hell about it (I've wrecked this car twice already, and my name at the garage is 'Tanglefoot').
Tomorrow, I'm working with a local electronics business, and we're installing speakers in a store or something. It should be interesting. They pay good, and I think they provide lunch :) However, I have to get up at 6am to get to work on time. So, I'm off to bed now, and I hope I manage to wake up in the morning (as opposed to the afternoon)!
