"The hardest thing is to take less when you can get more." - Kin Hubbard

We've had problems with the Blazer's headlights. We discovered while on our camping vacation that switching to high beam can randomly cause the headlights to go out altogether and that's exactly what you don't want in that situation. So last week we had the switch replaced. A '97 Blazer has the headlight on/off switch on the dash with the low/high beam switch part of the stalk coming out of the steering column. Alas, that stalk also has all the wiper controls which qualifies it as a multi-function switch. And THAT makes it stupid expensive. But with winter's reduced daylight hours we can't have headlight problems. Suck it up.

The driver side headlight was also improperly aimed so before the sun was fully up this morning I went out to try to fix that.
What was Chevy thinking????
A 1962 VW has a chrome ring that comes off with three Phillips screws which reveals four screws for moving the aim of the headlight up/down and right/left. Thirty five years later Chevy improved upon that with two plastic anchors and star-head screws. When the plastic anchors break changing the headlight alignment can't be done. But hey, they save one half mil per 100,000 vehicles by moving to plastic parts.
Grrrr.

Last night and this morning have been a step backward. The pain kept me awake last night.
I have an appointment with an orthopedic PA Tuesday afternoon. Melissa, the PT, is convinced the problem is not my hip but my spine. I'm going to press that and, if it seems necessary, encourage the PA to look into that. I had hip Xrays done at my PCP and they showed nothing noteworthy, so repeating that seems pointless.

Justin and Nichole attended Pathway. Both are professionally trained chefs but Nichole is now a stay-at-home mom for their three young-uns. Justin, who plays a very mean bass guitar, works as a chef in Montana where they live now.
He used to be the chef for the president of the U of M but I think he's moved to a new setting, a food service company.
I once had "lunch" at Justin & Nichole's house. I put that in quotes because the meal happened at noon but to just call it lunch does NOT do justice to the deliciousness I ate.
Here's Justin's Facebook post from this morning and a pic of their two girls. I think this is just about the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. Good daddy!

I have to say 3 Michelin Stars for Restaurant Le PennZoë. The ambiance was bright and colorful. The service warm and welcoming. I had a sensory overload when presented with course of bubble gum aroma. The lemon and yoghurt soup was vibrant and cool. Peach spaghetti was fresh and flavorful. The dessert mac and cheese changed my perception of what a dessert can be.

I finished up the paint job on the trailer and I think it looks really good. All that's left now is installing the hinges, aluminum corner pieces, and latches.

Something I read today:
""The feeling people describe of rising out of their bodies and seeing themselves from above has been replicated in laboratory settings. A 2005 study from the Hadassah Hebrew University Medical School found that it's caused by a sensory=processing disruption in the right temporoparietal junction of the brain - essentially, it's just a glitch in the way you process sensory information, and as such, it's often also reported by those suffering sleep paralysis."

So much for "Heaven Is For Real."

"And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes the judgment" (Heb. 9:27).
