Back to Work

The vacation is over and I've come back to work again, with a completly unexpected raise! My vacation was extended by a few days because of some more car trouble, this time it was partially my own fault. I lost some fluid out of the clutch slave cylinder and had topped it off and was going to bleed the air out of the line and accidentally snapped off the bleeder valve. It took a few days to get the part and get a shop to fit me in, so I just enjoyed the extended vacation. Tahoe has been fun, it's nice to be hanging out with friends on my time off. We've been playing a lot of guitar, going out to some bars, free bowling on the weekend (our friend works at the bowling alley and has free reign of the place on the weekend and lets us bowl for next to nothing... and makes us drinks...). I almost need a vacation to rest after hanging out in Tahoe for the past 2 weeks.
Now I'm back in the Geysers, but this time I'm staying in Cloverdale at a Best Western and not in Cobb. It's way nicer in Cloverdale, the motel is nice and the weather here is beautiful. It's like summer, yesterday was in the 80's and sunny. I haven't taken any pictures yet but it's pretty nice here, palm trees and what-not. I'll only be here for a week and then it's either straight down to the Imperial Valley near Mexico or a day or two off and then down there. I'd like a day or two off, I forgot a few things in Tahoe that I'd like to have brought with me. I could almost go there on the way down, in fact if we finished here on say next Monday early enough it's only 3 or 4 hours to Tahoe and I could go there for Monday night and be in the Imperial Valley the next day. I don't think I'll need to be down there until Wednesday, I just don't know exactly when we'll be done here. This job is going slow, the bit they had been using fell apart in the hole and the three cones are in the hole somewhere. Right now they are using magnets to try and get them out, it's slow and who knows whether it will work. I'm going to get a picture of the bit without cones next to a few with cones, in fact I'd do it right now, but it's 1am and I've got no flash. Oh-well, I think I'll go take a nap now!
