"I saw a stationery store move." - Jay London


And on the seventh day God created updog.
Christian: What's updog?
God: Nothing much. You?

Go Ducks!
(Pac-12 loyalty)

Crazy day with lots of interruptions that kept me from any one task through to completion. It took several segments but I installed the seat belts that arrived in today's mail. I'll wait to install the seat until I get the back window in, maybe tomorrow.

This is car auction week in Phoenix and today I ordered my tickets for Barrett-Jackson on Thursday and Russo & Steele on Friday. A highlight of my year. Pics to come.

I had a meeting in town last night, took Pam's car, and had trouble getting home. The "check engine" light came on as did the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) light. Most significantly, stepping on the gas had no effect on the engine. This morning I took it over to the Kia dealership and two hours later got the bad news: the throttle sensor was bad. That's a computer chip buried somewhere that needed replacement, and not one, but two software updates. Just under $350.

In the Falcon the throttle sensor is my right foot, and if it breaks I go to the dr.

I had five different people comment on the Falcon as I was out this afternoon running some errands. And it's filthy after last night's rain.

There's more, but I've been up since 2:30 and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders. Plus, OR just scored so I gotta see if their defense is as good as that offense.
More tomorrow night.

Well, your Ducks didn't survive The OSU assault. Based on your history of supporting teams, please root for the Packers this weekend and the Seahawks should be sure to win.

Enjoy BJ & R&S. Wish I could join you.
