This morning I worked on a client's computer.  His is a very old one, but he is happy with it for what he does.  It took nearly three hours to install some maps for his gps.  And I charge more on the weekends.  He was happy to pay it, and I will be going there again tomorrow morning for more work with his computer and gps, also on weekend rates.  Thanks, God, for the extra income.

This afternoon Jason came over to help me drop the gas tank on this bus, so that I can clean it out and prepare it for driving away when I have to move.  We could not get it off the bus, but he was able to confirm that there isn't much in the tank.  He says it should be okay to run it as is, after putting in some fresh gas, of course.  To check if the bus engine would start, we connected the fuel pump to a gas can with gas, and the bus started right up with less hesitation than I remember the bus having last time I drove it, thirteen years ago.  I am amazed that it started after all these years, even without my having to change the spark plugs, give it a tune up or even overhaul the carburetor, all things I've had to do in the past on this engine.  Thank you God!

My allergies have been very very bad today, the worst that I can remember in a very long time.  Actually, the worst I can remember ever, but I would not doubt that sometime in the past they may have hit me this hard another time.  I have been sneezing all day, and my nose has been running.  It has not been a pleasant feeling, but I survived and accomplished a LOT.  Again, thank you, God!

Until next time --
