Go Blackhawks!
After beating the Minnesota Wild in their first two matchups,
the Blackhawks played two periods well last night before falling apart in the
third period allowing 4 goals (one an empty netter) to a 0-4 loss. Playing with
a sleepy demeanor, they maintained a non-scoring 2+ periods before their sloppy
play unleashed 2 quick Wild goals. Well, let’s put that one behind us and come
out aggressively in Game 4 tomorrow night. Let’s go Hawks!
Welcome back!
Welcome back Tim B.
Tim had to take a short break from playing our games in our blog to
spend some quality time with his kids (and, according to him, to give you peeps
a chance to win some prizes). He is back and he has answered two out of three
of our games correctly already again today, so you other peeps now have your
work cut out for you. Tim is quite sharp
and he really knows his stuff, so step up your game people!
Computer blues
Well, yesterday we just spent an hour here at work trying
unsuccessfully to put page numbers on my 20-page document that I have been
working on for the past several weeks. Our admin person came over and tried for
about 30 mins and got frustrated and left, so I sent it to her to try again
early this morning. She believes my software package is a different version of
the one on her computer, which I would not doubt one bit. Software can be such a configuration
management nightmare, and this is just on our office workstations. Glad we have
a better grip on our GPS software! J
Bus fixes
I while back the passenger window regulator in Linus failed.
This is the mechanism that actuates the window when cranking it open or closed.
Now that is has become pretty hot out, that really needed to get fixed. So I
dropped it off at our VW mechanic located in Manhattan Beach, Linus’ second
home. Every time I drive by there, Linus wants to turn into their parking
lot. It is his home away from home.
Heck, even Randy our mechanic has his own key for Linus. I’ve many times have dropped him off in their
back lot on the weekend with a note telling Randy what needs fixing or what is
not working correctly. It has been there for months at a time a couple of
times. You definitely need a second car when you have an old VW. I know what I’m talking about. Trust me on this one! J
Be Prepared
We have been equipping the bus for the road trip and I am
running out of ideas of what we might need to bring for emergencies, etc. You can only be proactive and plan for so
many emergency scenarios and after that all you can do is react. If you readers can think of anything we might
need to bring along with us, please let us know and we will add it to our
constantly growing contingency list of assets.
