The USD Toreros were scheduled the byu Cougars.
Scheduled being the important term there.
I got an email around 11a this morning saying that the game was cancelled and the bosses would be in touch with a makeup date. The way that the email was written I thought that it was a byu player that was the guilty party. As I would later find out, no it was a USD player that was the guilty party. STAY IN YOUR ROOMS TOREROS!!!!!!!
Today was the day where I was to get my truck back. I took it in on Friday to get it fixed. The front wheel bearings and brakes needed to get fixed. So, I called yesterday and talked to my High School classmate who happens to own the place. He said that the truck was ready. I go in at like 11:30 and find out that nope, it wasn't ready. No biggie, they were just waiting for the rotors.
So, while they were finishing up the truck, I went into work with Mom.
I knew they were going to need me as the office needed to get a new all-in-one printer. Mom, her boss and I all went to Staples to get a good deal that they were having. While at Staples, they also got Turbo Tax, a folder to hold the 2021 tax info and extra ink for the new printer.
We get back to the office and I begin doing my thing. First I get the old rather large all-in-one out of the way. It was being replaced as my mom's boss gets a lot of faxs and the old machine (which they got back in 2016) was not receiving faxes anymore. So a new all-in-one it is.
I get the old one unhooked the telephone line from the old one, I unboxed the new one and got it out of the bag. I place it in the spot and it takes about half of the space the old one did. I hooked the telephone line into the new machine.
I then sat down and started doing the setup on my mom's work laptop while she was working on some paperwork on the other side of the office. Once I got everything taken care of on her laptop, I began on her bosses laptop. It was during this setup that they both went to the bank to do some (brace yourself) banking.
After I got all of that done, it was time for my mom and I to leave. On the way home, mom and I stopped for lunch at Arby's. We took our lunch over to the plane spotting parking lot at Lindbergh Field. My family loves to go down to the airport and watch planes take off and land.
As mom and I left the airport, I called to check on my truck. I was told that the mechanic was just about to torque the lug nuts down and take it for a test drive to make sure everything was good.
It takes about 15 minutes to get from the airport to the mechanic. When we arrived, I noticed that my truck was still in one of the bays. As I was paying (this is where the "Ouch" tag comes from) he was just then taking the truck for its test drive. Maybe two minutes later he was back.
I got into my truck and started driving home. Admittedly, I took a long cut to get home. About a quarter of the way home I thought I had heard a noise from the left front wheel. Keeping in mind, I had the front wheels worked on. So, I went into a really quiet neighborhood to see if I could hear it there. I didn't so I chalked it up to hearing it from someone else.
Once I got home, it was about 4p. I sat down and started working on some computer work. Really, just watching some YouTube videos on how to fix my valve cover gasket (another item that needs to be fixed, if I were to do it at the mechanic it would cost over $400 for labor). For some reason, I fell asleep for a nap for about 30-45 minutes. By the time I woke up, it was time for my Colorado Avalanche to hit the ice. Actually the game had already started when I woke up.
So, I started typing this blog out while listening to the Birthday Boy Conor McGahey (tonight it was "Natural Disaster vs adjective). The other birthday boy Marc Moser (the TV voice of the Avalanche) was not able to be viewed on NHL.tv this evening for some reason. I eventually had dinner during the second intermission (rice with leftover meatloaf balls). The game finished and as I was about to go back to watching YouTube videos on how to grow my channel, my main laptop decided that it wasn't going to play well with others.
So, I got my mini laptop out (the one that I usually work on at games) to finish this blog. Well, since I haven't used the mini laptop for about a year, it was time for updates. That took about an hour to get through.
So here it is midnight and I'm finally finishing this blog. When it was looking like I was going to finish it around 9:30'ish. Oh well. Good night.
