New Radiator Needed

Enjoyed our day in Manhattan yesterday, but the upshot of Brandon's car trouble is that he needs a new radiator and fan. It's a good thing we drove both the van and Suburban up, as we left the Suburban for him to drive for a few days. The parts stores in Manhattan could order us a radiator, but not until Tuesday. Corby called parts stores here today and found one, so we bought it and the fan. We will be going back up to Manhattan on Wed. to fix the car. Brandon went to his orientation at Dillons while we were messing with his car. After he was done, we went to Target and bought him some work pants - he also bought some new shoes. We went back to his dorm room and hung out for a while, and then we took him to dinner at Chili's before heading home. He seems to be doing really well, has his plan for doing homework, and isn't playing too many video games - at least not until evenings after he has all his schoolwork done. His hours will vary at Dillons, and it looks like they will use him some in the dairy since he has experience. He's excited that he works 6am-11am this coming Saturday, as he had already bought tickets to see Three Days Grace at the fair in Hutchinson. He and Kaitlin are going to the concert. Corby and I will go with them and hang out at the fair while they go to the show. Hopefully his Sunday work schedule will be a bit later in the day or he'll be lucky enough to have the day off. We'll see. I don't want him to have to drive back to Manhattan after the concert!

Kaleb and Kaitlin are both working 7-4 today - the nice thing is that they get paid time and a half since it's a holiday. Corby is going to fix tacos/taco salad for dinner! Otherwise, we're just doing our normal "Sunday" routine (since we were gone yesterday) of laundry, paying bills, cleaning, etc. You know, the fun stuff!

Today's music - Grand Funk Railroad! Some more old 70's music!

And the quote for today - fitting since Corby will be fixing Brandon's car (and probably saving him about $300): "A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you are." -- Unknown

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
