300 miles and no CEL
Wednesday, August 16 2017
I had some dull hiring chores to do in the remote workplace, and once they were done I felt like a weight had been lifted. I then turned my attention back to migrating the online store from the in-house proprietary system to WooCommerce. I'd thought a new hire would be working on this task, but she never managed to get to it and now she's in Ireland until September, and the shit needs to be done.
Gretchen returned from the Adirondacks suprisingly early in the day, having been dismayed to hear fishermen on Twenty Ninth Pond as she woke up this morning. (The dogs hadn't reacted well to their presence either.) I went out and checked to see if the check engine light had come on in the Subaru and was delighted to see that it had not. The car had gone over 300 miles without that light coming on, so it was likely to pass inspection now. When that happens, it will be the lifting of a huge burden. A car that isn't street-legal is like a sickness in the household infrastructure, one that gnaws at and distracts one from doing the things one needs to be doing.
While Gretchen was off at the Garden Café this evening putting energy into a social network neglected over the course of two back-to-back vacations, I was in the bathtub watching yet another leaked episode of Game of Thrones (season 7, episode 6) I'd downloaded on Bittorrent (and figured out how to play from the network share on my smartphone). This episode featured one of the sadder deaths I've witnessed in Game of Thrones, as well as a shocking (though perhaps inevitable) ending.
