Dulldrums...

Sorry I haven't written much.   Kinda been coasting for the last week or so.  We have a big vacation coming up, and I have been spending most of my energy counting down the days until we leave.

I fixed our van.  It has been running rough for the last month or so.  The check engine light has turned on periodically.  Ran down to the local auto parts store and borrowed their code scanner, and it indicated our Oxygen sensor was going bad.  Had to break out my ramps and my sled to get find it, but changing it wasn't much more difficult than swapping out a spark plug.

Nathan went to the parts store with me.   He likes to charm the clerks.  Especially the female ones.  He usually opens up with "I got a scooter for my Birthday"   His birthday was in April.  If you are ever looking for a good present for a 3 year old, a three wheeled scooter has Nathan's strong endorsement.

On a related topic, Nathan's favorite word right now is "Actually".  Big sophisticated word for a 3 year old. 

I have been hooked on "Deadly Catch" on Discovery Channel.   It seems to be all that is on anymore.  It is rather slow, and pretty much all the same, but it still keeps you hooked.   Kinda reminds me of watching the America's cup sailboat races.  Except for bigger waves, More ice, and slightly rougher crew.  Lets call it extremely blue collar America's cup.

I have slept 3 hours out of the last 40.  My sense of humor gets a bit distorted at this stage of sleep deprivation.   Sorry if I am totally goofy.
