It's all good so far

Back from the Easter weekend at my Dad’s house.  We all managed to trickle in between Saturday afternoon and early Sunday morning.  A five siblings and their spouses and children.   It was delightful bedlam.  

Finishing up some Scouting Admin work and getting the home office re-organized again.  I had to get a new printer – the old (6 months) $60 laser printer went on strike so it went to the curb.  I now have a heavy duty printer and a warranty.

This office has been in constant evolution.  New software, new accessories  hardware upgrades.  I would like to hit a point of stasis and have the status quo work for awhile.  Maybe one day.  

Another post done with the thumbs. Sitting at the tire shop while having two new tires installed on the College Car.

As we were headed out on the dog walk this morning, I was giving the car a visual once over and noticed a bulge on the tire. I need to have it roadworthy for its trip to Corsicana for the family Easter gathering.

This is the same car that we picked up from the body shop on Monday after it’s most recent fender bender. Wife and I were trying to remember if that was number 3 or 4 since we purchased the car.

The daughter got her license late and did not do a lot of driving. She acquired the fiancé who did not have his license. This has been the learning vehicle for both of them and it (and my wallet) have the scars to prove it.

While I grit my teeth and put the tire purchase on the credit card., I realize again, I have become my father.

Thumb typing this post. Left the iPad at the house since we were up early and I got through the email and RSS feeds.

Treating the day as a holiday. Sibling partnership taxes done. Banking done. Driving to Dad’s tomorrow so I am going to limit what I tackle today.

First up, to enjoy breakfast at our pace. Just need the new counter help to keep up with the coffee. Then we will work through the readable sections of the paper and then decide the order of errands.
