Week In Review.

Tuesday I was driving home from work and I hear this rattling sound as I was stopped at a light. The rattling was pretty disturbing, then I hear a loud POP sound. After that the engine temp started rising and the battery light went on. A couple of days later I had the car towed in to the Saturn dealership. The tension device that controls the serpentine belt had busted, plus the fuel pump mechanism was snafu somehow. I told them to go ahead and fix that and that there were a couple of other problems they should check out when they got that stuff fixed. My car had not been able to accelerate beyond 3-4 thousand rpm and it stuttered when driving. They took a look at this and figured the gunked up catalytic converter was the issue and so I asked them to go ahead and replace it. Hopefully all this shit will be done tomorrow (Monday) or sometime early next week...

In the meantime I have been taking RTD to work and it's gone pretty well. It takes me about 30-40 minutes door to door. Driving it took maybe 20-30 minutes. But I don't have to drive with rtd and when I come home after work I walk from the park and ride, instead of take the bus (which I do going in), so I get a nice relaxing after work stroll. Good exercise.

Bien Amigo Terry retired last Friday, 3/23/2007 and the gang had a gettogether at the Celtic Tavern downtown. I took the light rail in, met up with everyone there, and we sent him off with a few beers and shots. Good time and got to see a few people I hadn't seen in a while.

Since it turns out the RTD commute to Downtown is so easy, maybe I'll make it back up that way more often. I hadn't really been up there since last fall.
