Was driving to work Monday morning when the electrical warning light on my dashboard went off. I've been stuck in all day meetings all week with some Important People (at least in our company) for a big project we're working on, so been getting out a little late too. So, I get out Monday, eat a bite, and run to wal-mart for a battery. Change that, but it's not the problem. On down the street is an Auto Zone, so I pick up an alternator hoping I can fix it that night and so not have to take Rogue's car to work and so prevent her from going on a field trip Tuesday with our daughter.
No dice. I couldn't get the old alternator out because I didn't have a 10mm deep socket to remove the radiator reservoir, and by the time I found this it was nearly midnight. Sigh. So, pick one up the next day on way home from work driving the Blazer, and it's pretty straightforward after that. Still time for bed when done, but my car lives again.
Then last night I was Invited to come with our VIPs and vendor for dinner. A very nice dinner, and I enjoyed it, but still was ready to drop into bed by the time I got home. Especially after driving through some of the wonderful springy weather we're having here in the Dallas area daily of late, namely heavy storms with big fat lightning, hail, heavy rains, flash flooding, high winds, and in some cases tornadoes. (No tornadoes on my way home but the storm looked fairly promising.)
But here I am again. Digging out of email, etc.
