Kevin's musings

Well, now we know the answer to the age old question: “How many
greyhounds can you fit in a 2005 Pontiac grand am?”. The
answer is of course: one. The passenger seat is too narrow to
hit one, the wells behind the front seats are too small to fit
one, and the car is narrow enough across that only one can
really fit on the back seat.

Well, todays Urban news makes me happy that I have the extended
warentee even more. It appears the problem is the head
gaskets. So, they are going to pull the heads and make sure
they aren’t cracked or warped, and put in new head gaskets and
flush everything out. This was the 2000$ option. Good thing I
only have to pay 100$. Since it’s not going to be ready until
next week sometime, I went out and rented a car (which the
insurance people should also be paying for). It’s a generic
2005 pontiac grand am thing. The downside of it is that I am
not sure if there is any way to fit all the dogs in it
tomorrow when I am supposed to go to petsmart. I guess I will
try tomorrow to cram them in it and see if it will work.

On the good side, I think the
GURPS
game yesterday night went reasonably well. Most of the night was
devoted to making characters, but we managed to get in 45min
or so of introduction leading up to a combat (that we will run
next week). Looks like it should be an amusing group.

On the minus side I took my truck in to have them check a few things
and it’s looking pretty nasty. They found coolant in the oil,
meaning all sorts of nasty possibilities. Luckily I did get an
extended warentee on it when I got it, so it’s probibly only
going to cost me the $100 deductable instead of a possible
600, 1100 and 2000. It’s still in the shop as of now. I sure
hope they finish it tomorrow. If they don’t I probibly will
have to look into getting a rental, as I have a bunch of
places I need to be this weekend.
