Back to work tomorrow.

"I would hug you, but i sort of smell like cat...and cat is not the most pleasant smell." Jade Powell, Burbage, Wiltshire, England.

me,myself and I wrote:Waiting for school...and our first school football game(american football) which is away on Saturday, and the band is doing the pre-game show. The guard (the girls who spin flags and whatont) only have work for about 1.333 songs (out of 3) so it's gonna be interesting...

Not that interesting, really. My wife marched color guard in high school and college including indoor guard, marched drum corps, and taught high school and college color guard. In high school and even some college programs, it's quite common to begin the season with an unfinished program. You can buy drill; but the color guard instructors generally have to write their own drill, write and teach their own work, plus teach skills and clean the work.

I mean interesting in a painful "wtf is the guard doing" sort of way. The band can march all three songs (and probably will). The guard doesn't have much work(the actual flag spinning and such) written after the first song.

I'm not looking forward to it.

It only needs to be done by the first competition.

True enough.

Next two days off for me. Good thing, too. The 'check engine' light just came on... If you hear a muffled thud,. that's the engine imploding.

Try opening the gas cap and then re-closing it, tighten until you hear the threads click or grind. Sometimes a simple evaporative imbalance from the cap not being closed properly can give you a "check engine" light.

I have a second date with the same hottie from last weekend on Saturday. Interestingly enough, she's also seperated and oddly enough, has a masters in drug counseling. What are the odds?

First thing I tried, actually. Thanks, though.

Try a bit of 'percussive' maintenance

My old electronics teacher used to print a list of various types of devices, and the proper heights from which to drop them in order to effect "repairs."

Thing is, it runs fine. No odd sounds or difficulty starting it up. *Sigh* Maybe I'll try the gas cap thing again.

It can take over a day to register. If it stays on more than 36 hrs. or so, find a tech.

or just trash it and buy a new one...
