Tired, so very very tired right now.  Trying to get one project done while
planning the next one is taking a lot out of me.  Every morning has been a
struggle to get out of be.  Of course it doesn't help that the weather has
been frigid lately, the other morning we had -5 F temps.  

Was off visiting my friends in Ames over the weekend.  Had a good time hanging
about playing various XBox games.  Then I got to drive home into a nice snow
storm (6 inches) because I didn't hear about any of the warnings due to
playing said XBox.  Then, I'm a block from home and I hear a [BANG] from under
the hood.  The lights go dim and my battery light comes on, and I figure I
blew out the serpentine belt.  So, I hurried and drove home, popped the hood,
and found that I actually blew out the tensioner pulley.  Appears Chevy makes
those out of hard plastic, and it literally disintegrated when the bearing in
it locked up.  So Monday, I got to drop 187 buck to get that fixed.  While it
was in shop, the mechanics noticed my front left seal is going out, so I get
to have that fixed this weekend.  Guess there goes all of my fun money for a
month or two. 8(

Hopefully I can get some work in yet this weekend and get caught up on
aforementioned first project.  I really want this monkey off my back, because
the 800 lb. gorilla is looming large.  It should be fun, a year's worth of
work, to be done in 3 months on 6 months budget.  Yeah, this is going to be
pleasant.  A happy birthday shoutout to Boot!
