I’m glad I saved money repairing our dryer because the repairs to our SUV will cost a little over $800 after tax. A few weeks ago I posted an automotive question asking why the engine was having a hard time turning over, despite a new battery and that it would easily turn over using the remote start option. The problem turns out to be a fuel pressure issue which involves a lot of engine dismantling and something about depleted plutonium in the flux capacitor.
I’m going to Abilene this weekend to help select a scholarship winner that was created in honor of my late friend that was set up by his mother. Normally I can crash at a friend’s house, but I found out recently that I’ll now be springing for a hotel room. Once again, I’m glad I repaired that dryer on my own and also glad I resisted the temptation to just replace both the washer and dryer with a newer model.
During the workweek, I usually do a 20-minute workout on the elliptical that tells me I’ve gone a distance of about three-and-a-half miles. Yesterday I dropped the SUV off for an oil change and decided to jog 0.45 miles home. I can’t tell you the last time I jogged, maybe three or five years ago? It was of course harder than then elliptical, and at first my knees were hurting, but once I got going it wasn’t as bad I thought it’d be.
On The TICKET morning show, Junior Miller went on a tirade about former OU, SMU, New Mexico, and Baylor basketball coach Dave Bliss was getting another coaching job at Southwestern Christian University and how the whistle-blower, Abar Rouse who did the right thing in stopping the Bliss cover-up, is still black-balled from coaching. As Junior spoke I stood at attention with my hand over my heart. The last I heard about Rouse he was working the night shift in a factory, but that article is pretty old. I’m sure someone in the news will try to get a comment from him and provide his current career status.
The great Bob Schieffer will be retiring this summer. I guess there’s no better place for the 78-year-old to announce it than at the Schieffer Symposium at TCU. He’s probably the most like political reporter out there, and I’m gonna miss the guy, though he’s certainly deserves to enjoy retirement.
I keep getting a call from Minto, ND (population 604) which hangs up after the first ring.

I mowed the lawn for the second time this year, and for the first time in years, I did it without listening to the radio. Sometimes it’s just good to clear the mind and appreciate the the good sound of lawn maintenance equipment.
I know everybody raves about Louie, but I don't like his show. Didn't really like his show on HBO, either. He's a great stand-up comedian but his series are just tedious. I bailed midway through Season 2.

Buy a Toyota already.
I hope you have Libyan terrorists after you.
EDIT: I mean I hope you _don't_ have Libyan terrorists after you. 🙂
