So Tuesday, the Escape decided to piss coolant all over the gas station close to the house, so I figured the time had come. There had been drips before, but this was a torrent.

Tuesday became a four-teeshirt day, as every time I turned around I had soaked another one.it was getting nasty. but the new rad went in, and it’s done. What a pain. And all manner of other crap harshed my mellow, but I am caught up at work, and things are under control, and there are rumors of change in the wind… Good change, I think, but change nonetheless. I am gaining on all the things I’m doing, but it is taking such a godawful time to make it all happen. Meanwhile I’m too busy to write much, and while I watch everyone’s sites and feeds, I only get involved in things at the most minimalist levels. So be patient, and I will return with tons of tales to tell when the busy has fallen into the rearview mirror.
