Need to something useful at work today, thot i'd post a bit. I'm at the laurelhurst office, one of my fav’s, and their stuff was all easy fixes today, so i'm killing time. I have an appt with a consulting firm in belltown in an hour and some change, hopefully they can find some decent work for me. I really want a different job to drive to once the Z is back on the road again. Cause i really don't think i'm gonna wanna drive the Sentra for quite a while once i have a choice again, but at the same time i'm not putting 70-80 miles a day on the Z carrying stupid computers around. Quite the conundrum…

Really missing the DSL, hope qwest comes thru on their promise of mar1 for a re-hookup date. Kim and i are both going thru heavy withdrawals. We distracted ourselves last nite by cleaning the house, moving furniture, hanging pictures, doing dishes, taking out the recycling, and basically just making the place feel like our own. Josh’s remaining presence is a few pieces of furniture in the sun room, he’s cleared out pretty much everything else. The rug has kinda been pulling itself out from under us all month as Josh packs things up - although, ironically, he’s actually leaving the rugs. Come home and remove your coat, headed for the hall tree, only to find it is missing. The paper towels are rolling around on the counter, because the towel holder is gone. And the weirdest one, that took me a while to figure out: a brita water filter sitting in a glass of water on the counter… because the pitcher is absent.

So thursday nite Mom and Dad will start their westward drive, to arrive here by friday noonish. I hope to have the last of my parts by about that time, too, and have all the tools rented that i'll need for the weekend (cylinder honer, ring compressor). It should all be downhill after that. Somewhere in those 4 days i need to also balance in a bit of fun and relaxation for them, as i don't want them to come all this way just to work all weekend. And i know Mom’s going to harass me for not eating right / exercising / sleeping enough / going to the doctor for my stress-induced peptic ulcers, so i need to start bracing myself for a whole weekend of motherly guilt. Cause, you know, i don't stress about my life enough already… ;)

One of those typical Seattle days, where it rains a bit, then suns a bit, then is cloudy, then does all three at once. Feels like it should be a friday, even tho i just had one. And as always, it feels like it should be a payday, even tho i just had one of those, too.

Without internet at home, i'm blogging with the phone. I'm pretty good with the T9 but it’s still not as fast as a full keyboard… And the phone definitely doesn't do html well…

Ordered main and connecting rod bearings today, this weekend Dad will be here to help, hopefully i'll have a fully assembled motor by monday. I'd really like to be dropping it in next weekend, maybe even this one. I need to get back on the road!
