    Yup. Late February at the latest. That’s when the baby is due. Whether I make it out there prior to that is up in the air. But I’ll be staying there by the forest city for certain.

    So Just got a text 5 min ago

    IMG_4352.png

    Then a phone call.
    Apparently the sleigh won’t start.
    “You know who” never preflighted or took a few hops around the pole.
    I told him last year I was done.
    No one ever listens to me.
    He asked if I could look at it.
    I said Nooooooooooo.
    I gave you a 12 months notice.
    I told him sorry but I can’t fix management stupidity.
    Then he asked the best question ever.
    WHAT DO I DO NOW???

    I told him to go ask the Herbie Kid/Elf.
    He asked constant annoying questions the last time I was there and saying he wanted to
    work on it.
    Give him one of those tool boxes and the spec sheet under the seat.
    *Click*

    So if you don’t have anything under the tree, you can thank management…..

    I expect another call tomorrow.

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…….

    First of all, Happy Birthday @Sig45!

    Cleaned the house a little bit before company arrives tomorrow. Can't wait to replace the nasty old vinyl in the kitchen. Doesn't even look like I mopped...

    Decided to do a quick rinseless wash on the Camry. Still needs a full on extensive detail, but hit it with some quick detailer afterwards. Also used some of the red terminal spray on the battery terminals.

    FWIW

    If you don’t like the red protectant, FF does a good job and looks a lot less crappy..

    I actually used to use FF on my terminals, but you add engine heat and it does make a runny mess. The red stuff seems to be alright. I still use FF on battery terminals on the electric equipment at work. Those batteries are always boil charged and like to leak water everywhere. FF seems to stay on those better.

    Never had a problem with that.
    You must be using “if a little is good a lot must be better” thinking.
