Means his innoculations and stuff are all done with and he can walk on the public pavements (sidewalks) and parks.

I have a LOT of new bottles and crates to hold them.

I haggled a bit and got all six bins with 30 bottles per case for $100. I'll be bottling my mead tonight and/or tomorrow.

After I wash and sterilize them. *sigh*

I start a new job next week!

It's long-term freelance to start, but may become permanent. The freelance period can be kind of a test phase for both parties, which I've found has worked out well in the past. Bonus: I can walk to work. The stress and expense this will eliminate, compared to the trek out to my last job, is a huge relief. I was dreading the possibility that I would have to take another job with a ridiculous commute.

I really hope this turns into a trend, and other folks on here looking for work start getting some good news!

Nice to have a close-by job.

I was just recently converted from a one-year contract to a permanent employee at my current job, so maybe the economy is improving.

None of that will change, but the little diamond next to my name indicating temp worker will be gone from the next version of the org chart.

And maybe I can stop working so hard.

Yes, on our org chart an asterisk indicates a carrier of a social disease.

Daisy Head Mayzie is back with her rightful owner.

Only I can't figure out how to move the steering wheel back up. Where'd the knob go? I don't remember ever moving it because I had it where I wanted it but now I can't find the knob to move it back up from where the mechanics moved it down.

It's under the car, next to the muffler.

Make sure you wear gloves.

If you feel the bottom of the steering column there should be a lever that will pull down then you can adjust it where you need to. It's pretty much flush when it's in the locked/closed position.

HLJ, Mr Car, you silly.

YEah, I was feeling under there. There's a thingy that seems like it might move but it didn't seem right. I thought for sure there was one of those levers that you push, then push back into place.

I'll find it.
