The current conditions and daily forecast.☀️😺👍

Disappointing, to say the least.😾🙎‍♂️❤️🩺

It's 1100hours and I've yet to hear from New Era Auto about the Mercury. Dollars to Donuts it won't be ready until Monday. Yes, I'm worried and upset. Well, it's not the first dollars to donuts bet I've lost. Doc Carpenter took me to Clute to pick up the Mercury this afternoon. It was $830. I'll wait until Monday to have it inspected.

And so beins another day of waiting to hear from the auto shop about the Mercury. There's a vestry meeting tonight and I'd like to have the vehicle back so I don't have to inconvenience anyone about giving me a ride. I must also admit that not having a personal vehicle at my disposal in the driveway is unsettling.

A better number than yesterday, but still out of range. I over did it on the grapes at the meeting last night and the regular Tuesday night Burger King splurge.

I called the repair shop about the Mercury. The top of the radiator split and they're going to replace it for $785.00, or there abouts. It probably won't be ready today so I'll ask Eloy, Suz han, John Paul, or Fr. Travis if any of them will be able to take me to the shop to get it when it's ready.
It's Tuesday, so that means the veterans from court meet tonight. I'll go if Eloy is agreeable to giving me a ride. I'll have to take it from the repair shop to the inspection station I always take it to so I can register it for this year. It, the inspection and registration was supposed to happen last month, but it's eith not been operatuional or in the shop.&I'll have to remeber to keep the repair paperwork in the vehicle in case I get pulled over for an expired sticker.

Robert had a run-in with ice cream yesterday!😾🙎‍♂️❤️🩺

At1000hrs- I just got off the phone with New Era Auto. They can't find the key to the Mercury.- fifteen minutes later- I called the towing company and the driver said he gavwe the key to the guy in the shop. A follow-up call to New Era ended with news that the shop guy found the key and they'll call me with an estimate as soon as possible. I can finally breath.

At 1430hours- Talked with Bill Slater, my brother Bill, and my brother Don on the phone, just a lot of gab (mostly me).
I lost the remote to the Sanyo television in the office ( I think I accidently dropped it into the trash basket and took it out to the trash). I found a replacement programmable RCA remote that's about twenty years old, and after about fifteen minutes got it programmed to work with the Sayno.
I printed the VPOD Bursar schedule for 2026. I'm not on the schedule for the rest of the year and not on the 2026 schedule until February 22, as bursar, YIPPEE!

at1212hours - I just called New Era Auto for an update on the Mercury. The mechanic should be able to check it out this afternoon and give me an estimate. I also went on line to check the amortization schedule for the morgage at Mr. Cooper. The payment drops from $713 to $422 in January for a savings of $291 a month. If I don't pay extra on the unpid pinciple at the new payment the mortgage pay date would be April of this year. I'd rather just pay it off in January. The original maturity datte was in the year 2034. I hope to live at least a dozen or so years beyond that and I'd like those years to be debt free.

This evening is the "In the Zone" Meeting.

I'll have to get a ride with Eloy again. The number of veterans showing up at the meetings varies from week to week. For most it's a voluntary activity. As participants graduate from the Veteran's Court program they tend to drift away. Only several have stayed on past their graduation. It's important for them to meet with a group that understands what they've experienced.

This happens when ice cream is delivered from Kroger.

I assume I won't be this cavalier when they cut off my foot.😾🙎‍♂️The discrepency between the wake up time and the blood read time is the result of rolling back over, pulling up the covers and going back to sleep.
