Happy Birthday to a few friends: Doug, my cousin Jackie, and John.

I’ll be out cabbin’ it today, and this evening I’ll be trying to finish getting the power booster out of the road rhino so I can put the new one in. Yes, it’s paid off, but dang if you don’t keep having to put money into it.

UPDATE: Just went in to wake TMBWitW up to take me to the cage (with the road rhino down, she would have to drive me there). She said “I had a dream that you said you weren’t going to drive a cab today” I said “I had a dream that I blew through my alarm and you said not to go in today.”

I’m going back to sleep for a little bit, and then resuming work on the road rhino.

Chat ya later…

Quick update – right now, the only thing on me that is red are my eyes. I just woke up. When I went to get a cab yesterday morning (I slept in until 0500, and by the time I got to the cage there was a line of all things … ) there weren’t any Crown Victorias left. The only cabs available for lease were the Prius(s) (how do you pluralize Prius? Prii? Priuses? many Prius?) and then only if you went for a 24 hour lease. So – on short sleep, and needing to run a cab, I signed on for the special Prius familiarization class (worth a $5 credit on your lease) and had a walk around tour (because they won’t take your word for the fact that you have operated one of these critters before). Then, I was off. The lease rate for a Prius is higher than for a Crown Vic. The comfort rate for a Prius, however, is much lower. Yes, it got great mileage. Yes, I only used $30 of gas (@2.59/gal) for over 400 miles of city driving. But my rear end was welded to the seat all day and all night, so I was reminded of the trip, and why I didn’t buy one after driving one across the country.

Speaking of “i just woke up and boy, am i tired”, I have, once again, postponed the next installment of The “O” Word until the 12th. Sorry, AnnieB – the mind, it is not working, and I won’t be able to take a nap between now and then.
