I went the entire day without a nap, so that's good! :)

RedPoint, I am sorry you aren't feeling well, and hope that you are back to fighting strength soon.

I don't have any idea who Anna Ankles is, but I will never forget Hannah Minx with the big eyes and the bouncing!

I need to copy and paste in Windows and I insist on using the cent symbol, which I also copy and paste.

I gave myself 5 minutes to scrape the Camry windows, but it took 10.

I gave myself a minute to post here and, uh, I wrote a full page.

I ordered Christmas meat for my sister, pizza for my brother, and then an Ixian Excess phone or something.

I can't wait to start figuring out how to teach Mom how to use her own iPhone.

Everything took far too long and I planned on driving down today to see my girlfriend, but she has a virus, her allergies are acting up, or she has asthma and it is being a problem.

At least I didn't give her a cold!

We video-chatted for a while, but Mom demanded that I got off to take her to Home Depot so she could have my brother buy a new tree.

He set it up and decorated by himself on Monday.

Apparently this tree is inside-outside and somehow part of the power cord came apart and someone put it back together wrong. The prongs only go together one way and then you twist a cap on it, but since it was reversed the cap only tightened enough to hold everything together.

Remove the cap, correct the prongs, tighten the cap properly, and say "Hey! Hey! The lights! I fixed the lights!"

I finally reinstalled that last bolt and torqued all of them.
  1. The diagram is oriented like you have your feet all of the way under the car, not like only the top half of your body is underneath.
  2. I needed to pick up the paper eighteen times to see which bolt to torque next. I should have invested in "Tape."
  3. I can't find the QuickValve.
I hear the sun will come out tomorrow, so I am going to look around again, but a replacement plug is $4.50.
