woo hoo

So it's Saturday, and the cat woke me up at 5:15 AM. I guess the upshot of that is that I had already worked out, exhausted myself playing Soul Caliber II, watched xXx, and laundered the bedding by noon.

I went to install the new trailer hitch on the truck, only to discover that the ball that I bought last week has a 1" stem and the slot is only 3/4" wide. I also broke off one of the bolts holding on the left tail-light enclosure. It's fine for now, but I will need to fuss with that at some point: it doesn't seal right. Doing wiring for the trailer lights was fun, since "ground" is pretty much a relative thing in automobiles.

New neighbors are moving in upstairs. Bran has been freaked out all day because of the noise of them running up and down the stairs. Haven't actually seen the people yet, they left before I got done dealing with the truck.

I'm glad this class is almost done. Our team has a 10 page paper due on Monday, and one of our teammates hasn't been heard from for two weeks. It looks like the two of us are going to have to split his share of the work, too. Ah well.

I talked to zohra briefly last night, but her phone doesn't work in Vermont, apparently. At least she had a relatively uneventful trip.
