Finally

It´s springtime. 25°C today and a clear sky.

Miscelanious

I´ve got a Connecticut Drivers Permit since last Saturday.

I´ve got tickets to see Wilco on June 24th at The Pines Theatre, Northampton.

The river that goes through our town flooded so the main road was closed for traffic. People who parked at a commuter parking lot there still have their cars trapped there in water. I sure hope I won´t have to work on any of them.

I´m currently listening to The Shins.

Some surreal stuff, a guy was bringing in this high school kid who was getting a whiff of what bodywork is, I soon learned that the mentor is a bounty hunter! A few weeks ago a murder of a convenience store owner made the news here. Turned out that the man who got murdered was a friend of the Glass America guy who comes to the shop and that he usually walked his dog by the store to meet his friend around the time he got killed. For some kind of luck he didn´t that night.

50 Cents

I just learned that this horrible rapper lives in the same town as I do. Not only that, he lives in Mike Tyson´s old house.

Wilco

I can´t wait for the new Wilco album. I bought it on pre sale today, got the Deluxe Package, Rebecca can use the bag for her knitting stuff.

New Fridge

Our fridge died the other day so we were forced to get a new one. We looked and looked and the search was going nowhere until we came to a local appliance store. The thing was we did not want anything made in a third world country and it had to be low on energy and fit the space we have i.e. not a side by side fridge.We ended up with this thing here.



The Windshield Wipers on the Cadillac stopped working the day we got the new fridge, actually when I was on my way home from work to receive the guys bringing it! So Pat my boss found me a new (used) motor which I promptly replaced on Friday. Still the wipers didn´t work and I realised that the washer didn´t work either. Last morning everything worked but this morning it didn´t. So it´s quite clear that the lever is broken, a common problem in cars where you can tilt the steering wheel. So now I´ll have to find a new lever (a co worker might actually have one) and replacing it involves taking the steering wheel off!

And finally Wilco will be playing in the area late June and Low will be opening up for them. That will be a nice Sunday night.
