I feel awful. I’m pretty woozy and nauseated. For some weird reason I did all my billing at work earlier today with a sharpie, so the fumes from that got the whole situation started, and I just spent the last couple of hours in the garage pulling the cylinder head off one of the spare engines so I’d be able to show the auto fundamentals class tomorrow its inner workings. Thing was, the engine in question is basically trashed, meaning the no.2 piston ate itself alive at some point, leaving big piston chunks in the oil pan and somehow cross-contaminating the oil and coolant, creating one of the most noxious concoctions known to man, a sickly green-grey sludge that doesn’t clean up easily at all, gets everywhere, and smells horrid. So my exposure to that mess didn’t help matters either, and I think I’ve been a little malnourished today to boot.
I think I’m going to go to bed. Blankets…sheets…pillows…sleep.
I hope you feel better, Matt.
Thanks Emily. I did feel better today, although having to get up at 6:30 to take my dad to work (since I’m borrowing his truck) certainly didn’t help matters. But the class is over and it went well so I feel relieved.
Hope you’re having a lovely day in LA. Is it cold there?
a little late
I woke up at 6:30 once. Glad to hear your class went well.
Cold here? Hardly. Cool, perhaps, but it won’t be cold for a while… if ever. Is it cold there?
It’s downright cold here. No more cool. Well, I’m still cool. But the weather isn’t. Ha.
