Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Just heard back from the auto guy. Apparently I had 4 blown fuses thanks to my Good Samaritan. They replaced them all, did a charge system test, and everything seems to check out. What a relief! They're taking it for a test drive (after which they'll tell me that the alignment still sucks...which I know) and then hopefully I'll get it back this afternoon.

I don't know how people work full-time and go to school full-time and cope with anything else in life. Any little bump in the road that changes my schedule and being so over-taxed already, I just lose my *****.

Thats what fuses are for! Good thing they did their job and no one replaced one with a paper clip at some point in the past. But definitely good news.

Edit - and while I'm knowledgeable enough about the Bible to know about the Good Samaritan, I'll be avoiding them in the future.

I did that for a bit during my last semester of undergrad classes, so I know how you're feeling right now. It's rough shizz. Hang in there, you can do this.
And that's good news about the fuses!

Yup - tcbg explained how they work when we were looking at them Monday night trying to figure out what to do at 10:30pm with a dead car in a dark parking lot.

I'm pretty relieved. We left the car there overnight Monday - Tuesday and there wasn't any damage (breaking in, etc) other than some water in the car because it rained and with power-windows and a shot battery/fuses, I couldn't put the windows all the way up (I'd left them down on Monday for ventilation since it was so warm). We got back to the car at 10:15 last night (got out of work late, of course) and by 11pm it was on the tow-truck.

Work work work. Which is a good thing.
Until I win the lottery

How are you and tLodge doing?

I can't speak for the rest of the Lodge, but I'm doing well.
Went and got myself hitched this summer.
We're working on trying to find jobs back in the Cities; we need out of Ohio.
Otherwise, life's pretty good.

Morning all!

Busy day today. Have to hit Target, the jar store, maybe Bed Bath and Beyond, but I dunno if I'll have enough time.

If you have the day off, how can you *not* have enough time to go to 2-3 stores? I can't imagine they're hundreds of miles apart.

That's when my flight is, which I booked months ago. Dumbarse. I just got today approved yesterday.

And to make the "whoosh" easy for you:

Frank: I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I got a big day tomorrow. You guys have a great time.
College Student: A big day? Doing what?
Frank: Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

You could have taken extra time off months ago and spared yourself the flight.

And I don't even know what that reference is from - my mind is functioning less well than usual. I blame Nebraska. In fact, I now blame Nebraska for everything, including your balding and MNS's bricking.

I'd be all for neg-bombing dgoddard at this point. He can go suck Boone's wang.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Wait, there are girls in Tech's band?
/obligatory

I believe there is some there. That or there's a few crossdressers at Tech who can reach Tech Hot in stripped overalls.

What is he doing now??

Oh heck, who am I kidding?? like we really need a reason to unleash our fury???

Having driven through Nebraska, even if I had the time, I'd still fly.

The reference is from Old School. My brother used that one out quite frequently after they bought a house and got married. I don't ask him what he'd doing on weekends anymore.

More of his usual, nose-in-the-air crap.

I'd be all for ritually murdering his family at this point, with as big of an *** as he's been. But I don't think I could handle multiple life sentences.

Gee, thanks. Now I'm having flashbacks to Kenny in drag. Not even the Tech scale could have saved that one.

Yay, errands are done. Now I just have to iron some shirts and pack. Is it tomorrow morning yet?

So what's it like right now in the "Land of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 mosquitos"? Just walked outside for lunch and got at least 6 bites. Little bastahds.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Hey guys... Back to the outside world... Les, shoot me an email when you get the time. I trust you to give you the details but I'm not going to blurt them out here. It's been a long and well travelled week, in a sense.

It's a miserable misty rain outside. Windy, too. Many of the insects froze off last week, when we had that chilly spell.
