Schiester Mechanics Everywhere

I had my summer tires put back on after the brutal winter. 4.5 months of snow, sleet, freezing rain, wind and cold done at last, and it proceeded to snow the next day. And why do I have a schiester mechanic? After storing my tires for me, I got a flat tire the next day. Huh... coincidence? I think not. They thought so. They actually blamed me. I managed to weasel 1/2 price out of him, and he thought he was doing me a service. It was such a total load of crap. Anyway, there is not much I could do about, I needed to drive, so I paid him his money and I got my tire fixed.

So I hate mechanics for the time being, no offence to any of those people who I actually like and are mechanics. Not much else is new. I am pretty much being occupied by sleeping, driving, working and exercising. Not much time to do anything else. Badminton at school has been doing well, and the kids have been having a good time. Rugby at the Kingston club has been good, the coach has been working us really hard. I think we are going to be seriously competitive this year.

I also played Rockband for the first time, and after thinking it looked really dumb, it turned out that it was really very cool. I had a blast and the hours past by really quickly. Bosman totally rocked the drums, and Budso was good at the guitar. I think I needed some serious practise.

Lastly, I just found out today that the kids at Cloyne don't get a Grad Dinner and Dance. I remember my dinner dance with fond memories and would like them to have that as well. I am going to try and get something organized for them. Nothing fancy, just a dinner or something where they can relax and have a good time.

Anyway, time to go to bed. Yes I realize it is not even 10:00 yet. You try getting up at 5:30 every morning, then driving 1:30 to work, then dealing with hormonal teenagers for 5:00, then drive another 1:30 hours home. And you get cranky too.
