This is a basic rundown of today....
0430 - Awake and feeling wonderful! Big change after a week and a half with a cold!
0700 - Kiss the wife goodbye! Off to work she goes!
0750 - While sitting on the can, the house phone rings, then my cell phone, then the house phone, then the cell phone, then the house phone... This has got to be more important that what ever I was trying to achieve. (Bummer#1) I make a full attempt to answer the phone... as soon as I am able to...
0800 - Emergency errand received! Bring green bag and ID Badge to Susan at work!
0810 - Start Saturn, notice red low coolant idiot light! Top off coolant with antifreeze. Scrape windows. Drive to Tacoma.
0840 - Call Susan to tell her I'm almost at the Hospital, when I notice I forgot the ID and Green Bag! DUMMY! Back to Port Orchard! (Bummer#2)
0905 - Low coolant alarm, and steam from engine compartment. Can't see leak! But it looks pretty much isolated to the radiator or the upper hose. Move to the truck! (Bummer#3)
0910 - Start truck, scrape windows, move my gear and the green bag and ID Badge to the truck. Notice that left front tire is pretty low.
0915 - Head to Chevron close to home to inflate tire.... No air pump! Butt Heads wrecked it! Head back home. (Bummer#4)
0920 - Bum Ford key from Kelsi. Start Ford, Load Ford up with all gear, scrape windows, head out to Tacoma.
0945 - Arrive at hospital, deliver goods! Depart Tacoma, proceed to coffee shop.
1010 - Arrive at coffee shop. Nice to see the guys after a week and a half off!
1100 - Leave coffee shop. Dog puked in car. (Bummer#5)
1140 - Clean up Dog puke. (Bummer#6)
1300 - After blowing like four inline fuses (Bummer#7) and tripping the circuit breaker twice (Bummer#8), I decided that chasing those old blown out, large colored, light bulbs like my father used to do 25 years ago was not going to be conducive to me maintaining a positive attitude.
Normally I'm not cool with not doing the easy stuff on my Stuff to Do (STD) list. However today I really didn't want to push my luck any further! Hope you had a better day than I did!
Hey I'm still breathing, and I know I'll ready to give tomorrow another go at it!
Campy Out!

Nice try with the lights....tomorrow is another day. Or, you could be jewish and not have to put up lights at all.
That in itself would be more work, going Jewish and all, than putting up the lights. It looks like with each day closer to Christmas that THE LIGHTS don't get put up, my LOSTD (List Of *Stuff* To DO) controlled by Susan, seems to get more focused... "Christmas Lights" has degraded to "LIGHTS!!!!"
Maybe tomorrow I'll get to THE LIGHTS!!!
