David and Don have been moved in since late Tuesday night. David’s sleeping in my room until Don moves out in six weeks and vacates his room. I’m giving David free rent until then to compensate (though he still has to pay 1\/4 utilities). He’s fairly well-situated, but I still feel bad when I wake up early in the morning for a flight and am trying to make as little noise as possible walking across the hardwood floor.<\/p>\n
Coffee Theology on Wednesday went reasonably well. Larry attended for the first time and he and I discussed it at length last night during our weekly get-together. He gave me good feedback about it. I greatly appreciate his impressions and advice. I so want this group to succeed, and I expressed that, but we agreed that first of all I have to determine what success is<\/i>, to sharpen my vision for the group, in other words. We discussed some ideas that I’ll be implementing in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
The front pulley lock tool for the Audi finally came in yesterday. If the ground is dry tomorrow the car’s getting a full tuneup. I have distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, fresh oil and filter along with a new front main seal. I’m not sure if the seal is the cause of my perennial oil leakage, but between that and a new oil pump gasket I figure I stand a good chance of taking care of it. I just hope I don’t have to drop the engine subframe just to pull off the oil pump. Keep your fingers crossed for me.<\/p>\n
