Word of the Day

Anticiprecipitation - Any instance of anticiprecipitating. An expectation describing one who looks out a window in a persistent manner to see if there has been a change in the weather that is to their liking.

SCREEEAAAAMMMMM!!!!!! That was a primal scream that I'm keeping tamped down inside my mind. Total frustration. Not for me. For MC Daughter and D Buddy. I can only feel sorry for the total frustration they're going through.

So? I still have guests in my guest room. Plans keep changing. MC Daughter and D Buddy had hoped to hit the road by tomorrow morning. Maybe. Murphy's Law keeps rearing its ugly head over and over again. Delays. Auto repair shop screw-ups. Major auto repair shop screw-ups. Maybe...just maybe MC Daughter and D Buddy will be able to hit the road tomorrow...or more likely the next day...if the auto shop doesn't have to spring for a total transmission replacement because of some "forks" that the repair guys put in wrong after rebuilding the old manual transmission which may now have to be replaced with a automatic transmission (at the auto repair shops expense) because they don't make that manual transmission anymore and I have no idea what I'm talking about but am only repeating what I've been told by D Buddy who does know. Repairs like that may take longer. We'll see. HTP has gone off to the rescue which I'm sure can't sit well with MC Daughter or D Buddy. HTP's a wonder when it comes to tackling minor and major disasters but it's a heck of a lot nicer to be the rescuer than the rescuee no matter who's doing the rescuing....even if the rescuer is Dad.
