jayI'm in my office right now, at 1am... I'm briefing the NASA associate administrator for space science (whose organization funds all of my projects) in 6.5 hours, I have to be back here shortly after 7am.
Why am I here late? My black Mustang's transmission failed this afternoon, while taking a late lunch withruneshower. My attempts to revive it failed, I couldn't nurse it home, and eventually had to call for a tow truck. And it was raining today. (shakes head) I've already paid $3800, then sunk $1800 in various repairs, now comes a probable $2K more to replace a transmission that only had 5K miles on it (but 2 years garaged in storage).
So, I'm back to collect my things and close the office and turn off the coffeemaker.tenacious_snail came over while I was gone and watched and fed the kids... then I went back to her place and then borrowed her car (so I can get here in the morning...). Sigh... at least I swapped the cookies. And I was happy to see Anita again...
Otherwise... some stressful email, andpatgreene may have been exposed to poison oak while at science camp with David today.
