Drop by drop the snow pack dies, watering the arid lands below. |
Istiqlál (Independence), 7 Mashiyyat (Will), 165 B.E. – Friday, October 3, 2008 about 6:25 AM Pacific Time It's Friday October 3 and I have a three-day weekend. I don't have to go to work today because the staff at school are having classes of their own. I'm not sure what it's called, but it means the teaches are taking classes to make them better teachers. This assistance are doing other stuff and I don't have to go to work. I have other things I can do. For the past two or three days, I've went to bed early and didn't get everything completed. I'm behind on almost everything, I did get one item caught up this morning. My next project is to do reviews and catch up on writing.com writing. Fortunately, I'm only two days behind on October events on writing.com. The only thing I've did the past couple days is catch up on Snow Melt entries for Follow the Leader. It's getting light outside, so I'm going to have to go check the water in my radiator. I think it needs a water pump. It could just as easily need a head gasket, but two out of three mechanics say it's the water pump and the way it's leaking t appears to be the water pump. I really hope it is the water pump, because I can't afford to have the head gasket fixed. I'm not sure how I can afford a water pump, but I'll figure that out. Needless to say I'm not driving very far anymore. I also need to find a black marker. I have a lidless Tupperware container in the garage with coolant in it. I don't want it used for anything else, so I'm going to have to mark it coolant. I found a something I could lay on top of it to keep the dust out, but I still need to make the container. I can drive the car as long as I don't make more then two or three stops. Two stops are probably best especially if I'm driving across town. I don't think that it leaked yesterday afternoon when I came home from the bank, but it did leak a little at the bank. I have to go out now and check the radiator. |
