Kill that damn snake

Well, today was a disaster every which way. First of all, I woke up with a sinus headache that never went away. Then spent all morning getting things lined up to spend all afternoon in jail visiting with about 18 clients. I get there, have to wait for 20 minutes before someone comes to the window so I can line up getting in to see all of them. There are 8 different rooms, and today, I had to get 6 keys to get into all the rooms I needed to get in to visit my clients. I had lined up the order of the rooms, so that everyone should be ready when I got there, but I probably spent more time waiting for people to show up that I spent talking to all of them.

I get home and I had told a friend that I would help her take the alternator out of her car and put in the new one. We started the mess at 6:00 p.m. and just gave up a few minutes ago, unfinished because we cannot get the damn serpentine belt back on. I will need to find a much longer wrench to get the tension adjuster to move enough to get enough slack to put it back on the pulley. I now remember why I pay people to do the work on my car. Of course, swapping alternators used to be such a simple job.

I am so hot I think I might be having a heat stroke. I am giving up for today. I am going to take a hot bath and go to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be a much better day.

Hang in there Terry! I was playing Tomb Raider's Angel of Darkness, and jus thought I w as having problems beating some of the levels, but they don't even compare to your misfortunes.
Those spring tensioners can be a problem, especially, if you don't have a big enough wrench.
Maybe, today, will be much better. I hope so.
Later, Frank

If you have heat stroke, should you really be taking a hot bath?
