Took the SwampMonster Dodge in to get its oil changed, forgetting that I intended to do that ASAP and neglecting to realize that going up and getting my NEXUS interview would incur 260 miles two quarts low.

Asked the local guys - who have been taking care of the SwampMonster Dodge from 2002-2009 - to check and see if it's worth fixing up or kicking to the curb. Got the $100 service and asked for an alignment check.

Was told that prior to checking the alignment, it needed a $1200 steering rack and a $400 power steering pump. Also my valve cover is leaking and they want $300 for that. Add that to the new headliner, rear wiper switch and battery and suddenly it's time to put Old Yeller down.

Had just wrapped my head around limping the poor beastie along a little while longer but that seeking thing it did with ruts on the way up to Canada and back was apparently not tire-related. So.

But I mean hey. Dropped my mother-in-law off at surgery yesterday and she's got 9 months of PT to look forward to.

Got a call in Canada on Friday. Building inspector was withholding our Certificate of Occupancy until the hot water heater that doesn't serve our space that isn't in our space that isn't connected to our water supply that doesn't involve our space in the slightest and was installed ten years ago is brought up to current code. When the previous litany was recited to the building inspector he said "I'd hate to have to turn off the water to the entire building to prove you wrong." Informed my contractor that he could let the building inspector know on Monday that if we didn't have a Certificate of Occupancy by Tuesday we'd sue.

Inspector said we'd have one by Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday the inspector discovered that they'd "forgotten" to enter in all of our individual inspection reports (water, sewer, gas, electrical, HVAC, ADA, and on and on and on) so could we please bring those buy again.

Tuesday night the computer crashed.

Yeah.
