  Back to school...taking two classes this semester. They should be pretty easy, but I could use the GPA boost. I just bought the textbook for today's afternoon class...the spiral notebook rang up several dollars higher than it was marked (nothing is easy here...it took over two weeks and a clusterfuck of communications just for readmittance), so I apologized to the guy behind me for the hold up. "I don't blame you, old buddy." Did I just get called, "old buddy"? Mustn't...attack.
  
  Probably something I'll have to get used to. Besides, my back hurts today. It was fine this morning until I sneezed. Our inversion table arrived last weekend and I'm now addicted to hanging upside down. It really helps until sleep, move wrong...or sneeze apparently.
  
  On the ride home from work on Friday I became aware of a distinct knock in the bottom end (primary case) of the motor. I adjusted the primary chain tension and that didn't help, so I perused ye olde xlforum.net to see if anyone else has had a similar tale-tell indication of a problem. It seems it's likely a loose bolt on the main drive sprocket. I've removed the foot peg/controls bracket and shifter linkage, and all the primary cover and derby cover screws/bolts. I stripped a primary cover bolt (carelessness!) and found that the Craftsman Bolt Extractor set works great. I'm back to work today where I left my service manual...so I'm set to pull the cover and see what's going on with it whenever I have time.
  
  I had to take yesterday off for another funeral. My step-mother's sister-in-law, Ann, died of cancer over the weekend. I wasn't all that close to her, but I liked her. The funeral was just strange though...not organized too well...with precautionary tales of hellfire and brimstone afoot. I've had way too much exposure to this lately with two funerals in the last three weeks. Surely they make some sort of Retardant Suit. I know that Ann had a solid belief in Christianity, but with Glen it was almost offensive seeing his death used as an excuse to pahreach the gahospel of jahaysus to everyone in attendance. I've been begging my wife to cremate me and have a wake that excludes all the traditional bullshit. Most especially the traditional Christianity laced variety.
  
  I've got class in an hour. I hope the other kids like me.

  First off, I know this isn't all that profound but cancer just fucking sucks. Glen died sometime during the night on Sunday after being diagnosed only a month ago. After my father-in-law's death a few years ago Glen really proved himself to be a dependable friend of the family and has helped my mother-in-law out with the maintenance and upkeep of her house...as well as just about anything else that she couldn't handle by herself. He and Lexene weren't romantically involved in any manner, but he was still a part of the family. I really liked the guy, and I'm glad we had the chance to stop and see him in the hospital when he was doing (relatively) well. His funeral is tomorrow.
  
  We'll have two more funerals to attend soon as well. Bran's aunt has terminal cancer and likely won't live much longer, as well as my aunt on my step-mother's side of the family.
  
  
  
  
  Piper won a the redneck beauty contest. Don't look at me...it wasn't *my* idea.
  
  
  After we fell asleep last night a bad thunderstorm rolled through and awoke us with crashing lightning and loud thunder as the power went out. When it returned, Bran was reaching over to reset her alarm clock when sparks began erupting from the electrical outlet near the bed, leaving a visible mark on her arm, the wall, the surround sound speaker, and that piece of paper (those are burns). I don't know if it was lightning, a power surge, or faulty wiring that went kaput when the power fluctuated, but it scared the hell out of us.
  
  I thought my karma was pretty solid after the weekend. I got a call on Friday night informing me that my brother would be coming by on Saturday morning to pick my hungover ass up to help him move EVERYTHING HE OWNS from his girlfriends house back to his house. After he had just paid professional movers to move him in there four days prior. Saturday was not fun. Sunday I mowed two yards out of the kindness of my Grinch-like heart...three counting my own.
