"It's a Beautiful Mornin'"

I've got a little time to blog before I head off to work this morning. I woke up and saw that my alarm was going to go off in about 20 minutes so there wasn't any point in trying to go back to sleep. Don't you hate it when that happens? I probably want to smash my alarm clock even more.

HR contacted me on Friday about setting up some time to "train" the new accounting administrator. I'll be running her through a few of the things that I do and although the information could be useful to her, she's not ever going to do the work that I do. I'm not going to bother to teach her how to operate computer programs that she'll never use. Instead, I'm going to give her an overview so that she has an idea of what info she will be using, where it came from, and why it was put together.

After work, I may head to the gym. I tried at the begining of this summer to get back in there but then some issues came up and I just didn't have the drive to show my face in that place until about now.

Also, I got to pick up some new socks and engine coolant. [Writing that down.]

*Sigh* Still have 15 minutes...

I am not sure what time your gym opens but I find that going first thing in the morning helps. Also, not knowing your gym, the classes that I go to just once or twice a week make me excited to go back to see everyone. Just some words of encouragement.

Be fruitful and multiply...by ten.

Some coworkers and I were talking about that lady in Arkansas that just delivered her 17th child. The Associated Press announced the good news a couple days ago and I remembered the family from the Discovery Channel . The Duggar family had been the subject of a number of specials dealing with large families. They are especially memorable given that the number of kids as well as their, well, peculiar lifestyle. The people that I was talking to balked at the idea of having that many kids with a few of them openly calling the Duggar parents crazy. I have to admit, I think that they are little bonkers in the head too. But you know, that’s cool on the other hand too. And it’s actually impressive that they are able to afford to have such a large family. There are some parts of me that would like to have a large family. (My definition of large stops at five kids just so you know.) But their criticisms largely used the Duggars' religious faith. From what this article indicated, they are pa

Meet Bob

 I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Am I financing? Bwah ha ha ha!

 When I purchased my house, I thought my heating system was bonkers. It used hot water from a tank and blew the air over that to be heated up. Like a boiler... kinda? I had made some inquiries to businesses in the area because if this broke, who would fix it? The best lead I got was familiar with the system but didn't service it. I knew that when the system goes, I would be replacing it with an entirely new system. Well that day came. The old system with its water tank. The new system. Notice the old water tank is gone. A couple years ago the air conditioning had gone out too but summers are pretty mild and I had gotten away with a window unit. After the car purchase and also a garage door repair needed, I had to finance this. I took a few thousand dollars to pay off the existing loan that I had out for the window replacements. I can apply the money that had been going to the windows loan to go on top of the loan I now have out for this system. That will help me get this paid off s
