They are doing good, but it will be nice to get them back on schedule. The late nights and lack of steady (if any) naps has made for some rather headache prone afternoons/evenings.

Really not so bad.

I was changing my oil once, when my little brother came over to visit.

I had got distracted and forgot to reinstall the drain plug!
Doh!
When I worked at the Harley-Davidson dealership, that forgetting to put in the drain plug before adding the oil happened rather regularly.

It arose from trying to get as many bikes serviced as one could; the ol' I'm fast!

So whoever forgot might get noticed in time to call over to them.
"Why are you flushing the crankcase?"

About that time the catch pan that barely fits undeneath the bike is ready to overflow.

We took our turns.

The poor service manager at the end of the month balancing oil consumed versus bikes serviced.

well we went down to old saybrook, did one job, the next one there got cancelled because their pool didnt get delivered. uncle went in the 550 to go look at another job in old saybrook, got pulled over by the DOT on 95 for 2 hours. we went to newington, job was soaked, sunk in mud to the top of my boots. went to rocky hill building dept for plot plans... then did a small pool in manchester. so essentially we worked for 3.5 hours and drove around for like 6

anyways, josh is going to look at a TDI in coventry so hes picking me up so i can tag along. hooters later??
