“When it rains, it pours”

September 28th 2009

So last month my daughter died. My grandfather has been in the hospital for a week but his condition has deteriorated and now he’s not expected to live longer than a day or two. :(

2009 started off so nice but it’s ending up a horribly rotten year for me. Of course my thoughts now are with my family, especially my Grandma. I’m glad that my Grandpa was at least able to hold Emma this year.

Car batteries

September 28th 2009

I now hate side-post car batteries. My wife’s car battery died today and since she has appointments to take Ian to and I have work to go to I needed it fixed today. Since it’s just a car battery I opted to do it myself.

Anyways, it’s all fixed now. The estimate was 30 minutes for the trained car shop repairman who has replaced a million of these. It took me 45 minutes (and with crappy tools to boot) so I feel OK about it. I just wish my fingers would quit feeling sore…
