Rainy day, supposed to be a few inches. No ride. We are going into the dark and rainy season with a lot of vacations. I have to go home for the kids anyhow since our nanny can't make it for early release, so I'm thinking of asking SWMBO to make Thursdays a drop-off and not a ride until maybe after Presidents / ski week. It requires a little more of her to drop them off rather than kick them out.

I bought a part that's supposed to fix my truck's electrical problem. There's a switch in the shifter assembly (which is really just a bunch of switches anyhow) that goes bad and fails to register that the truck in in Park. The symptoms, which I've got, are that the battery drains, and the P does not light up orange on the instrument panel. The truck is still on, even though the interior shuts down. I was loath to bring it to work today but then realized - I can just disconnect the battery when I park. In fact I could have been doing this all along. Dummy! The part is coming tomorrow.
